- Description:
- "Dating from 1715, the present structure is the third in a series of Anglican houses of worship that began in 1660. . . Work began in 1712 with an October 15, 1714, deadline. The December 2, 1715, entry in the vestrybook says, "at length new Church is finished, or nearly so." The sec ond church was demolished the same year. Spotswood was provided with a canopied chair on a platform inside the rail opposite the raised pulpit with its overhanging sounding board. Parishioners sat in boxed pews, their walls providing privacy and protection from drafts. In the early years the sexes sat apart." Source: Colonial Williamsburg Web Site,
