War and resistance in the Caribbean: The monuments at St Paul's
War and resistance in the Caribbean: The monuments at St Paul's
For this project, we have worked with the arts and heritage group SV2G (St Vincent and the Grenadines 2nd Generation) to explore the history of the British Empire in the Caribbean.
The aim was to understand shared pasts in order to shape our shared future. We used our collection of monuments to promote conversation, debate and action. On these pages, you will find a short history of the French Revolutionary Wars in the Caribbean in connection with the monuments and memorials on the Cathedral Floor and in the Crypt. Visit in person, pick up a helpful leaflet and follow the map to explore the trail, or discover more online - scroll down this page for more.
This trail describes historic events and their consequences, and may include content or language which is upsetting or challenging.
