Historical Information:
The present structure was constructed in 1846 as a replica of Yorkminister Cathedral in York, England. During the Civil War, the iron spikes on top of the church were melted to make cannonballs for the Confederacy. The parsonage and Sunday school buildings were destroyed during the war, but the sanctuary was not seriously damaged. The church escaped burning in 1865 by Sherman, who was a Roman Catholic. It is said the church removed of its "Episcopal" signs, and the placing of paper mache crosses on the edges of its roof to make Sherman believe this was a Catholic church. A plaque on the wall is dedicated to the members of the church who died for the Confederacy.
