History

One of the oldest Episcopal churches in the United States, St. Thomas' Church was founded in 1698. The Pennsylvania guide, compiled by the Writers' Program of the Works Progress Administration in 1940, described St. Thomas' Church as a "simple, dignified, red stone edifice in English Gothic style," noting that

A crenellated [sic] tower rises from the steep slate roof. Three churches have occupied this site since the first log structure was built in 1698; the present one was begun in 1868. During the Revolution the church was occupied first by American, then by Hessian, and finally by British troops. It is said that tombstones in the adjoining graveyard were used by soldiers for cooking ranges and for target practice. Older headstones have disintegrated and many graves are unmarked. Some of the stones bear macabre inscriptions, one of which reads: 'Life is a cheat and always shows it. I thought so once, and now I know it.' [1]
