The oldest Anglican parish in continuous existence in America. Established in 1610, this is the fourth church built in the parish. It was erected in 1728 in the shape of a Latin cross. Its walls are two feet thick. The bricks are laid in Flemish bond. Its communion silver bears the hallmark 1618 and has been termed "the most precious relic in the Anglican Church in America." These venerable walls have suffered during the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the War Between the States
