Vernacular Virginia Church

This beautiful little church building caught my eye during my travels and I pulled off the highway to have a look at it.
The Cove Presbyterian Church of Coveville, Virginia has been holding services on this site since 1769. The original sanctuary was a log building which was replaced in 1809 by a brick structure...
...which was destroyed by a tornado in 1880 and rebuilt the same year. 
The church has a nice website which includes a history of the early days.
Such a beautiful little building!
I'm safely home now and shall get back to blog visiting and marking Spring's arrival in my own neck of the woods.
