St. Paul's Episcopal Church

Frommer's Review

The only building to survive when the British burned Norfolk in 1776, the main chapel of this lovely brick Anglican church was constructed in 1739 to serve a parish which had been in existence since about 1637. The tower was added in 1902, and the interior was restored to its present state in 1913. This is a serene respite in the middle of bustling downtown, so take a moment to reflect inside the church, and then examine the ancient tombstones in the shady churchyard. The earliest original stone is from 1748; three others dating from 1673, 1687, and 1681 were brought here. There's a cannonball lodged in the southwest wall. The church museum upstairs in the Parish House is worth a short visit.
