Christ Church is the parish church of
Great Choptank Parish, founded in 1692 as one of the
List of original 30 Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland. The church structure, designed by noted Baltimore architect
Charles E. Cassell and built between 1883 and 1884, is a large
Gothic Revival stone structure of green
serpentinite stone on a
cruciform plan. The adjoining cemetery is enclosed on three sides by a brick wall, and burials therein date from 1674 to the present. Church parishioners included five governors of Maryland, a state Attorney General, an Ambassador to the Netherlands, local judges and lawyers and several U.S. Congressmen, where most are buried. Christ Episcopal Church and Cemetery was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places in 1984. == Notable interments ==
