Founded in 1671 at Gravelly, where the original wooden structure no longer stands about 2 miles southeast on Aberdeen Proving Ground, the parish moved here in 1718. The present church, erected in 1851, is the third on this site. The brick Vestry House here dates from 1766. Early graves were moved from Gravelly. The name Spesutia is derived from the Latin for Utie’s Hope, a 17th century Manorial Grant to Colonel Nathaniel Utie.
