Description
These ruins are all that remains of St. George's Chapel, the stone church was built in 1769, on property owned by Colonel Robert Worthington. First called the English Church, then Berkelt Church, that changed to Norborne Chapel when it became the parish of Norborne from 1770 to 1815.
This is where the Washington family worshiped. George Washington's younger brother, Samuel, who lived nearby at Harewood, served as the senior warden of the Church.
After Charles Town, West Virginia was established, and a new church built there, this Church was abandoned.
