Sarah Ann Gill was a social and religious leader in Barbados during the days of slavery. Best known as the Heroine of Methodism and Freedom of Religion – and for the role she played in establishing a religious alternative to the white-dominated Church of England in Barbados.

Born in 1795, Sarah Ann Gill was a free, ‘mixed ancestry’ woman (born to a black mother and white father) who notably felt the brunt of the racism that was inherent in Barbadian society at the time.

She chose Methodism as her religion and by 1820 was considered to be a full member of the Methodist Church.
