CACHE DETAILS:

You are looking for a small Lock&Lock near old Green Hill Church.

GREEN HILL CHURCH DESCRIPTION:

The church is closed and no longer holds regular services. It is opened once a year in August for a St. Bartholomew's Day worship service held by three local Episcopal churches.

HISTORY:

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. That building was replaced in 1733. 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.
