'The rectangular brick church measures 60' 6" X 28' on the intcrio,r and is laid in bond with glazed headers above the bevelled water table. The use of glazing is less regular in the front gable than in the body of the building. English bond is employed below the water table, and i queen closers mark the jambs and the corners. Yellowish rubbed brick I s11g:;csts quoins at the four corners of the building, and the .same type bricM nxlrlis the jan~bsof the four windows on the north side and the three windows fartliest from tiif chancel on the south. The jambs of the south window ! nearest tlic cliancel, originally the south doorway, were replaced when the doorway was altered into a window. The rounded arches laid in a double 1 course of rowlocks above the north and south windows replace what were i probably originally segiriental arches. The gallery window in the wes t end 1 wit11 a rounded arch of rubbed brick in fulls and double halves is a modern i replacement, as is the west doorway with its segmental arched pediment, semi-circular arched opening, tympanum with glazed headers and shallow pilasters of rubbed brick. The east end has been greatly altered, and the present door, windows and surrounding areas are post-colonial. The side walls are generally in good condition. The present clipped gable wooden I sliingle roof with the kick and the modillioned cornice are a recent restora- tion by Orin M. Bullock, Jr., of Baltimore, although the roof trusses are I original. This roof replaces a roof with deep eaves andItalianate brackets1 dating from 1867. The present interior of the cliurch bears little resemblance to the I colonial interior. The west gallery and the vestry in the east were added , in 1867. At the same time, the floor was raised from its original level, so that there are now several steps under the gallery. Furthermore, in 1970, Mr. nullock replaced the late-nineteenth century tongue and groove ceiling with a segmentally arched plaster ceiling. Westover Church owns several fine pieces of silver including a paten, chalice and cover made in London in 1694-95 and donated by Sarah Braine, and s chalice and paten made in London in 1731-32, which was possibly made by George Jones.

The picturesquely sited I building has long been a familiar landnark along Virginia's historic I lioute 5. The Parish of Westover is one of the oldest in the country, I being recognized in colonial records as early as 1625. No church building1 I.1s lcnown to have existed at this time, however. The parish originally ' included land on both sides of the James River, but the boundaries were i altered several times. The land across the river was lost in the early 1 17201s, and the boundaries became coterminous with those.of Charles City / County in 1725. Tl~ename of the parish, as well as that of the famous 1 nearby Westover Plantation, came from the West family which was granted the1 West Hundred. 1 The first church of Westover Parish stood a few hundred yards from the original Westover plantation house, up river from the present church. This first church's still remaining churchyard contains, among others, a tombstone with the date 1637 (now obliterated), said to be the oldest existing stone in Virginia. The present building was constructed , / in 1731. The church was abandoned for nearly 30 years after 1805 as a result of the Disestablishment, during which time it often served as a barn 1 It is also said to have been used as a stable by Federal Troops during the j War Between the States. i The church has undergone several renovations beginning in 1867 . 1 when most of the interior and possibly tile roof were replaced. Tne latest! I ' restoration was undertaken by Orin M. Bullock, Jr., of Baitinore and involved the replacement of the roof, cornice and segmentally arched ceilin?.i Tl~ewest moulded brick doorway and gallery window had been restored in I 1956. Presidents William Henry tlarrison and Benjamin Harrison of Berkeley, and John Tyler of Sherwood Forest, as well as the families of such well-known nearby plantations as Westover, Shirley and Belle Air have / worshipped in Westover Church.

  • Hunt Club 23
    Charles City County Business Directory County Guide Compiled September 1998 By: Charles City County Department of Planning January 2016 **Please contact the Department of Planning to report any incorrect information** Introduction Charles City County is a quiet, rural haven located in the east-central portion of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In 1634, the colonial General Assembly met at Jamestown and divided the Virginia Colony into eight shires, similar to those in England. These were Accomack, Charles River, Henrico, Elizabeth City, James City, Warwick River, Warrosquyoake and Charles City. The Charles City shire was named for the English King's son, Charles, who later became King Charles I. When first established, Charles City comprised a large area on both sides of the James River, but gradually it lost land area to the formation of other counties. Settlement in Charles City County began as early as 1613. Many of the famous estates were patented in these early years. Charles Carter built Shirley Plantation about 1769. It is believed to be the first Virginia plantation. Today the Carter family still owns Shirley Plantation. Benjamin Harrison, IV, built the Berkeley Plantation mansion in 1726. Berkeley was the birthplace of Benjamin Harrison, V, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Governor of Virginia. Berkeley was also the home of William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United States. John Tyler, tenth President of the United States, purchased Sherwood Forest in 1842. William Byrd, III, a notable Virginia planter, author, and colonial official constructed Westover Plantation about 1730. Evelynton Plantation was originally part of William Byrd's expansive Westover Plantation.

  • Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)
    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.

  • History 216-02: "From the Founding of Jamestown Through the American Revolution"
    History 216-02: "From the Founding of Jamestown through the American Revolution" J.P. Whittenburg Fall 2009 Email: [email protected] Office: Young House (205 Griffin Avenue) Web Page: http://faculty.wm.edu/jpwhit Telephone: 757-221-7654 Office Hours: By Appointment Clearly, this isn't your typical class. For one thing, we meet all day on Wednesdays. For another, we will spend most of our class time "on-site" at archaeological excavations, museums, or inside historic buildings. This class will concentrate on the period from the founding of Jamestown in 1607 through roughly the death of George Washington in 1799, but it is not at all a narrative that follows a neat timeline. I’ll make no attempt to touch on every important theme and we’ll depart from the chronological approach whenever targets of opportunities present themselves. As we have another course (History 220) that deals exclusively with Colonial Williamsburg, this class will focus mainly on “not-Colonial Williamsburg.” By this I simply mean that, instead of taking you to "CW" for a series of field trips, I will make a few assignments for you to visit specific places and events there on week days prior to our Wednesday class meetings. The Historic Area is easily accessible by foot and your William & Mary ID cards will get you into all the exhibitions. These are not optional activities: we'll incorporate what you see and hear at CW into our class discussions. I'll begin most classes with some sort of short background session—a clip from a movie, oral reports, or maybe something from the Internet.
