CHURCH.GEN.4Scope and Content
Church Street, named for St. Philip's Church, was one of the original streets of the 1672 Grand Modell, extending the length of the town from what is now Cumberland Street to Vanderhorst Creek (present Water Street). Early references call it New Church Street, signifying the move of St. Philip's from its original site on the southeast corner of Meeting and Broad. It was sometimes referred to as New Meeting Street, reflecting perhaps the loss of Old Meeting Street due to construction of the city walls or perhaps to the presence of the Baptist Church near its south end. By 1739, it was known simply as Church Street. Also by that time, Vanderhorst Creek had been bridged and Church Street was continued from Vanderhorst Creek south to Broughton's Battery on White Point.
