Park and Chapel
This beautiful property in western Sandys parish is a private park administered by the Heydon Trust. This 44 acres of lush gardens is one of the largest parks in Bermuda and also has 10 old buildings in it. There is also a chapel called Heydon Chapel inside the park. This is the smallest church in Bermuda built in the early 1600s.
This property was donated by the Matthews, members of the Church of England.
Heydon Trust Chapel
The gardener is the only person who draws pay from the trustees. Everyone else working or contributing to the maintenance of this wonderful Bermuda park are doing it by voluntary services.

The name of the Park came from Jeremy Heydon, an investor in the Bermuda Company that used to run the governance of Bermuda in the early 17th century.
The Trust administers and owns the houses, property and land. The park has fruit groves, flower gardens and a bird sanctuary, some of which are still being farmed.
You also get a wonderful view of the waters at the Heydon's Bay. The bay is actually the north eastern part of Ely's Harbor.

Gregorian chants are still held in the chapel on weekdays at 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., and on Saturday at 3 p.m. This is the only church in Bermuda where such old traditions of plainchants are still carried out that date back to the times of Pope Gregory the Great.
