Cocktail Reception & Dinner
at the Rose Hall Great House - Tuesday,
June 24, 2008
Hosted
by the Rose Hall Golf Association
Rose
Hall Great House (876) 953-8150
THE
LEGEND SURROUNDING ROSE HALL and
its infamous owner, Annie Palmer,
also known as "The White
Witch of Rose Hall," is one
that has fascinated generations
of island natives and visitors alike.
It is a story with all the elements
of an engaging novel: a beautiful
heroine, unrequited love, black
magic and revenge - all set in a
gracious old plantation tucked amid
the green hills of Jamaica.
One
of the most impressive buildings
on the property, the Great House,
was built in 1770 by John Palmer
and his wife, Rosa. After the couple
passed away in 1790, the property
went through many hands until finally
ending up the residence of John
Palmer's grand nephew, John Rose
Palmer. In 1820, John Rose Palmer
married, Annie, a beautiful but
feisty English girl. Little did
he know that his young wife possessed
"black magic" powers that
would eventually lead to his demise.
During her reign as mistress of
the plantation, Annie did away with
two more husbands and countless
lovers.
Of
course, the meting out of such undeserved
cruelty had its price: in 1831,
Annie was found dead in her bedroom
at The Great House. To this day
there are those who claim to see
her ghost wandering the halls of
the Great House. [Information
