Old Church

*Marker Text:  On this site Old Church was built during Revolutionary times. When St. George´s Parish, now Burke County, was created in 1758, a glebe of 47 acres was granted for this Anglican Church, known as St. George´s. When Waynesboro became the county seat in 1812, a proposal to use the timbers from Old Church for erecting a Court House was averted by a lawyer, Allen, who quoted, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it into a den of thieves." After 1830, for many years, it was a Methodist Church. Taken over and restored by the American Legion about 1930, Old Church was destroyed by fire in 1934.
