Hello


 

The Church of England became the established church in the

Maryland Colony in 1692, and Stepney Parish was

among the parishes then established.

It had almost the same boundaries as present-day Wicomico County.

A parish church was built on the west bank of the Wicomico River in 1701.

John Huett was the first minister of Stepney Parish, followed in 1709

by Rev. Alexander Adams, whose long career extended for

sixty years until his death in 1769.

A Chapel-of-Ease for Stepney Parish was constructed on property

conveyed to the Adams family in 1722 by George Goddard.

Named Goddard's Chapel it stood until 1768.

Relocated then to Salisbury, it was the forerunner

of St. Peter's Parish Church.

Services are held once a year in Old Green Hill Church

on St. Bartholemew's Day.
