This church was built in 1843. It is situated along King's Highway, State Route 3.
A detailed history of St. John's Church is on the Hanover Parish website. During the Civil War, the church closed in 1862 when the pastor resigned. He was from the North and did not choose to serve after the "Protestant Episcopal Church of the Confederate States" was formed.
Uma bela e antiga Igreja.

Lovely looking church with an unusual belltower on the top
ReplyDelete...it’ a beauty.
ReplyDeleteA sweet little church...unusual bell tower, as others already said. And I can't figure out what the building is made of...my ability to enlarge on my laptop is limited. I think it is red brick that has once been painted white...
ReplyDeleteThat church does stand out.
