Sunbury Plantation House was built around 1660 by Matthew Chapman, an Irish/English planter, one of the first settlers on the island. He was related to the Earl of Carlisle and through this association, was granted lands in Barbados. Sunbury Plantation House is over 300 years old, steeped in history, featuring mahogany antiques, old prints, antique porcelain dolls and a unique collection of horse-drawn carriages.
The original name of Sunbury was Chapman’s Plantation, then Branker’s Plantation. During the ownership of the Barrow brothers, then to “Brothers Plantation” and finally Sunbury Plantation, named after their home in Britain. This is the only great house with all rooms available for viewing in Barbados.
