St. Georges Church, known as the Old North Castle Church, was erected on this site in 1761 through the generosity of St. George Talbot of New York City and the missionary zeal of the Rev. James Wetmore of Grace Church, Rye, on land donated by Charles Haight. The church stood until 1819 and during the Revolution served as a hospital for American forces after the Battle of White Plains on October 28, 1776, and as a British base for Colonel Tarleton's attack on Pound Ridge and Bedford on July 2, 1779. Major John Andre, a prisoner of war, twice passed along this road on September 23, 1780. Revolutionary soldiers are buried in the southeast corner of this ground. The house directly south of the churchyard was built in 1824 by the Methodist Society on land donated by Caleb Kirby and was used for worship until 1842. St. Mark's Church stood on this site from 1852 until its present buildings were erected in 1911.
