Wingfield Estate

Wingfield Estate sits above Old Road on the west of St Kitts, next to Romney Manor. Founded in 1625, in the first years of the English colony, it ran as a sugar and rum works from 1681, worked by enslaved Africans until emancipation. The stone ruins still stand: the mill, the aqueduct, the lime kiln, and a rum still among the oldest found anywhere in the region. Old Road Rum distils on the estate again, on the ground where the work first began. It is a working heritage site today, open for tours alongside Caribelle Batik next door.
