Saint Mary's Episcopal Churchyard, Burlington
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old Saint Mary's Church is located at the corner of West Broad Street and Wood Street in Burlington, New Jersey.
It was constructed in 1703, and is the oldest Episcopal Church in New Jersey. Its silver communion service was a gift from Queen Anne, before her death in 1713. Its first rector, John Talbot, had been a ship's chaplain, and served as rector from 1705 to 1725. During the American Revolution, Reverend Jonathan O'Dell supported the Loyalist cause, and eventually fled to Canada. The church was expanded over the years, and a Guild House was constructed at the corner of West Broad Street and Talbot Street in 1799. The church was supplanted by New Saint Mary's Church.
