Option 2: Romney Manor, set on approximately 8 acres, dates back to the 1600s. Prior to the island's European conquest, in 1623, there is strong evidence that Carib Indian Chief Tegreman’s village occupied the site. Petroglyphs located on the Wingfield Estate attest to the presence of Amerindians during the property's history. Most of the activity on the property, has been growing & distilling sugar cane. Over the years, its owners have witnessed the crushing of cane by animals, water, and steam power. This all changed in the 1920s as cane processing became centralized in the nation's capital, Basseterre. The Wingfield Estate grew, harvested, and loaded sugar cane until the mid-2000s, that's 350 years! Romney Manor became a batik enterprise in the 1970s under the tutelage of its current owner. A favourite is our magnificent Saman tree, the largest living organism in St. Kitts. It is over 400 years old, 24 ft in circumference, and covers ½ acre. Imagine the stories it can tell.
