St. Peter’s Episcopal Church – Port Royal, Virginia

 St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and the surrounding churchyard, which sits on the corner of Water and Market Streets, is the oldest congregation in the Town of Port Royal.  In the cemetery are graves of some of Port Royal’s leaders going back to the beginning of the town.  In 1835, the land was bequeathed to the Trustees of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Port Royal, and shortly thereafter construction began.
