This church is beautiful. I thought about changing religions just to visit this church every week. The burial grounds are kept up and the oaks around it are gorgeous. Inside the church is just marvelous.
Such a "graceful" looking old church. Inside was beautifully preserved, and loved the stained glass windows. The church is nearly surrounded by a graveyard, with headstones that are well over 100 years old, but still legible. A printed sheet for a self-guided tour is just inside the front door, plus a spot to contribute for this lovely place's upkeep.
There is nothing like a cemetery in the south with that moss that hangs from the trees to make things seem even creepier. This cemetery is full of graves from the mid 1800's, many of them being influential to St. Francisville and surrounding area. The historical society is down the street and could give you more information. Grace church is pretty and serene. Worth a look while visiting.
This church is nestled among huge old trees where the sunlight drifts through causing shadow and light. Next to the church is a very old cemetery with the town's history on each headstone. So many people, especially children, lost to yellow fever. Each headstone tells a story. This is a must see.
Probably one of the best things worth visiting in St. Francisville. The trees with the Spanish moss gives it extra character!
We visited the church and were welcomed by local parish members. The cemetery is wonderful to stroll through and it is a history lesson in itself. Wonderful place to spend some time.
We enjoyed walking around the cemetery. Many old gravestones. The church is interesting. Pick up a brochure in the entry way that explains the history of the church.
wonderful church, very old graveyard some of the graves dating back to the 17 hundreds. Beautiful oak trees, well kept cemetery.
We walked from our B&B around the corner to go wander the graveyard. It is beautiful with all the gravestones from the last 1800's and early 1900's. The oaks everywhere with Spanish moss give it an otherworldly feel. There is a little fenced off section with headstones that seem to have been separated from the areas they were marking. Some newer headstones are in the far part of the graveyard.
A great old cemetery with many Barrow descendants, but not Clyde Barrow - a relative, but not a favored one.
