A 1756 church contains unique and artistic North Carolina soft soapstone pierced tombstones carved by Anglo-German cabinet and furniture makers, many attributed to the Swicegood School, using the same tools used in furniture making. They made coffins and tombstones to supplement their furniture-making income and decorated them with German symbols such as the fylfot cross meaning eternity. These tombstones are unique to Davidson County and are believed to be found nowhere else in America.
