St. John's Episcopal Church - Hampton, VA.

Founded in 1610, St. John's Episcopal Church is the oldest Anglican parish in continuous use in America. The current church is the fourth building to house the St. John's congregation and was built in 1728 in the shape of a Latin cross. The building features Flemish bond brickwork and is a superb example of colonial brickwork and the only surviving colonial structure in downtown Hampton. The Church also features many beautiful stained glass windows including one depicting the baptism of Pocahontas given in 1887, in part, by Native American students from the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, now Hampton University. The churchyard features many interesting headstones and memorials and is well worth a contemplative walk around the beautiful grounds.
