  An intriguing architectural delight dating from the early 1700"s. There is a very nice museum with an introductory film and architects that are very interesting. Docents are very knowledgeable. Donation are welcome.

  Visited a number of times and have been to weddings here. Interesting cross layout with pews laid out in several directions. The pews are inside tall 4 ft walls so that only heads of the congregation are visible. Worth a visit!

  If you like history or architecture, stop by Christ Church. The preservation efforts and small museum will surprise you. Friendly volunteers and docents add to the experience. Great way to learn about the church's role in the area.

  My wife, adult son and adult daughter visited here briefly on Saturday June 28. We were on a tight schedule and were not able to spend as much time as we would have likes so my wife and I returned on Monday morning June 30. Our children were not able to have returned since they had to return their offices. The church is incredibly well restored. It is very a powerful building which conveys a profound religious message. The museum is also excellent. The information is presented in a very approachable and informative manner and is very engaging. The staff is also very friendly and helpful in answering questions etc. If you are in the area this is a must visit location and if you are not in the area you need to consider a special trip to visit the area.

  This is an original 1723 brick church under written by John Carter and built during his life as well as that of his son Robert "King" Carter, famous Virginians who owned vast expanses of land and were politically active. Wonderful tour, beautiful church ,and I learned some history. There is nothing not to like here!

  Even a short visit allows one to absorb a lot of history at a glance. The building is simple, airy, and light which belies the studied thinking of the time behind its design, One can imagine the parishioners and their thoughts on those long ago Sundays. I was especially lucky the weather was beautiful on the day I visited with the doors opened wide, furthering a connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape. This is an easy side trip off any Northern Neck/route 3 trip, well worth an hour: a must see. There is no charge but with suggested donations of $5. Easy parking, short walk escorted by a docent, small, but nice museum that gives a succinct background of local history, especially about the Carter family and "King" Carter who built the church.
