St
Peter's Church
New Kent, (George and Martha Washington were married in this parish (and
possibly in the church building itself) in 1759. Robert E. Lee and his
family worshipped here.
Christ
Church (Weems,
John Carter had the first church built on this site; it was completed in
1670 after his death. In 1730, his son Robert "King" Carter,
colonial Virginia's most powerful planter, proposed to build a brick
church here at his own expense, which the vestry of Christ Church Parish
accepted. Finished in 1735, Christ Church is the best-preserved and most
finely crafted of colonial Virginia's Anglican parish churches.)
Rosewell (The Rosewell Foundation, Inc.)
(The ruins of one of the finest mansions built in the colonies sit on
the banks of the York River in Gloucester County, Virginia. Here, you
may see the brickwork and grace of form and scale which have inspired
poets and architects since Thomas Jefferson)
