Built in 1734, it is purported to be the oldest existing church in the state. The walls of the building are two feet thick and constructed of solid brick. The Church housed a library of 1,050 books and pamphlet titles. Dr. Thomas Bray, founder of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (S.P.G.), purchased the library in London with funds subscribed to supply libraries and missionaries in the colonies.
