Description

5"h x 7"w landscape orientation black and white photo of Old Trinity Church and its graveyard on the eastern shore. The simple brick church had a gable roof and a small circular apse on the right. On the long wall, there was a simple door with a brick round arch flanked by pairs of diamond pane windows with a large and a small light in each one. A brick arch topped each window. There were similar windows in the end of the apse. Gravestones crowded around the building. There were several large trees and some boxwood bushes on the grounds. ******************************************* Text on verso in fountain ink: "Old Trinity Church, near Church Creek, Maryland, which will be rededicated on August 7, following a restoration requiring seven years of work. J.C. Wilfong, Jr." Also taped on the verso: "Old Trinity Church near Cambridge is believed the oldest in America in continuous use by English-speaking communicants. Today these number 44."
