St. Peter's Church
Church history
When the Virginia company settled in 1612 St Peter’s church was created in St George’s. That means it is over 400 years old isn't that crazy
In the 1700’s a gallery was built on the west side of church so blacks (free and enslaved) could attend services. This was also done in other churches
In the 1600’s most blacks were christians so the church added a expansion to the graveyard so blacks could have segregated burials whether they were free or enslaved.
At the church In august of 1834, Blacks who were baptised were no longer entered as neither free or enslaved.
