As we have seen in the Introduction, in the eighteenth century there were many forts around the coast of Jamaica, as protection against privateers. St. Ann had her fair share of such forts, of which remains still exist. There was one at =Mammee Bay=, two miles east of St. Ann’s Bay, where the St. Ann volunteers repelled an attack by pirates in 1795; another between Roaring River bridge and =Ocho Rios=, close to the main road, dating from the eighteenth century; two at =St. Ann’s Bay=—one, erected in 1777, now used as a slaughter-house; =Windsor Fort=, erected in 1803; and Dry Harbour, existing in 1777. In 1737 an Act was passed to enable the inhabitants of the parish of St. Ann to build a barrack at or near the head of the Rio Bueno, which divides the parish of St. Ann from the parish of St. James. Other places of historic interest in the parish are: =Priory=, nine miles west of St. Ann’s Bay, where are the ruins of an old church, the oldest tomb being dated 1750; best known during the incumbency of Bridges the historian, who resided at one time at =Tydenham=, which was purchased by the vestry as a rectory in 1817. At =Dixon Pen=, in the Pedro district, there are remains of a very old building said to have been the residence of a Spanish governor of the island. At =Green Park=, near Claremont, is said to be the house mentioned in Scott’s “Cruise of the Midge.” At =Geddes=, about five miles from Claremont, there is a curious slave punishment cell, with holes in one wall, through which it is possible the hands of the prisoner were fastened.

At =York Castle=, in the Pedro district, was held from 1576 to 1900 the Wesleyan High School for boys, which during that period contributed eight of the Jamaica scholars. The =Dry Harbour Caves=, on Hopewell and Cardiff Hall, are about a mile and a half from the village of Dry Harbour. They inspired a poem entitled, “The Grotto of Melancholy,” in “A Short Journey in the West Indies,” published in 1790. =Moseley Hall Cave=, on Guy’s Hill, on the border of St. Mary and St. Ann, has fine stalactites, which were much visited in former times. =Llandovery Falls= are natural waterfalls on the Llandovery; a view of them is reproduced on one issue of the Jamaica penny postage stamps. [Illustration: PUNISHMENT CELL, GEDDES ] =Metcalfe Ville= is named after Sir Charles Metcalfe, mention of whom has been made in the chapter on Kingston. =Walton=, near Moneague—where a lake appears at intervals after very heavy rains, is the site of an old military barracks, also the original site of the Jamaica High School, now the Jamaica College at Hope, in St. Andrew. Here also is a lake which appears at intervals after very heavy rains. Charles Drax, by will dated 1721, directed
