Bellefield Great House was built in 1794. After the British took Jamaica from the Spanish in 1655 it quickly came to realise Jamaica was best suited to growing sugar cane. Production of cane sugar became the economic and political strength of the Jamaican British Colony. Sugar Plantations dominated Jamaican life and led to massive importation of slaves from Africa to provide manual labour to the plantation owners At Bellefield, you can experience what it was like to work and live in Jamaica during the colonial days. Bellefield can also be transformed to host large or small private functions.
