This is a rather small and narrow church. It looks like a single room structure. It is a second elevation with stone steps to get up tot he entrance. There is a 1841 marker above the entrance door but in no way is this a dated stone or cornerstone. The front of the church features a large pediment supported by 4 columns. The church is of brick. There is also a porch up front as well with balustrades in front, all painted white.
There is a cemetery to the left and another church beyond that. Between these two churches are lots of graves and stones and I wasn't sure which stone went with which church. I do know for sure that there are separate burial grounds for these two churches. I was unable to find a website for this church except for a minor Wikipedia entry, which yielded little information.
