St. James’s

Established in 1750 as a Chapel of Ease in the Parish of St. John’s of Joppa, St. James’s first occupied a brick chapel measuring 60 by 30 feet, now the transept, completed on this site “in the fork of the Gunpowder River” at a cost of 790 pounds. In 1770, an Act of the Maryland Assembly established the separate Parish of St. James’s. In 1950, St. James’s completed two centuries of continuous service.
