The oldest standing church in North Carolina, built in 1734, and, indirectly tied to Bath having the first public library in the colony, as books were mailed to the parish from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts in England.
Built in 1744 and used by the North Carolina colonial legislature to convene, it is one of the older houses in the state.
