Old Donation Church
4449 N. Witchduck Road, Virginia Beach
Completed in 1736, The Old Donation Episcopal Church is a Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. Named in 1766 for the Donation Farm located nearby it was destroyed by fire in 1842. Restorations were completed in 1916 and again in 1966 and today it is again an active parish.
This third Lynnhaven parish church dates back to 1736, when a church that was later destroyed by fire was built. The church was rebuilt in 1916 using the remains of walls originally erected in 1736 and tours that highlight its Colonial past are often given to schoolchildren and visitors to the area.

Hi Den,

Like the colours in this shot they are very warm with nice sharp details. I think that you like to take shots of old churches they are after all very interesting buildings. I a have a photo of a Cromwellian Church, only two were ever built, and will need to post it sometime. Well done and thanks again for your ws.

Regards
Jon
