Ancient Church in Yorktown Still in Use
An 218 year old church near York River in Yorktown Virginia remains a functioning place of worship. Erected in 1700 by English colonists, it withstood a 1814 fire set by a British landing force and was rebuilt by 1815. The 1725 bell, cast in England and gifted by Queen Anne, remains in use alongside the original communion service. The site marks the last major battle of the American Revolution where French and American troops compelled Cornwallis's surrender.
