Notes

According to Higman the aqueduct was notably spectacular on this plantation. It stretched over a mile to its source in the Port Maria and was made up of hundreds of masonry arches. The Robertson map of 1804 showed a cattle mill, windmill and watermill. James Hakewill documented Trinity in his in 1825. He noted the practical and ornamental value of the aqueduct which had been built at great expense of Nathaniel Bayly, the previous owner. The Baylys owned four contiguous estates in St. Mary - Trinity, Tryall, Brimmer Hall and Roslin sugar plantations - with a total area of 4-5000 acres. The area was known as Bayly's Vale.
