Cokesbury Church
A Methodist meeting house was erected
nearby circa 1803. In December of that
year, the lot on which the building stood
was conveyed to trustees on the condition
that they finish and maintain the structure
as a church and school. The building was
named Cokesbury Chapel to honor Methodist
Episcopal Bishop Thomas Coke. It continued
to serve the congregation until the present
church was completed in 1869. Regular services
were discontinued in 1975. The property was
formally conveyed to the Cokesbury Church
Trustrees in 1999, and the building was
reopened as a nondenominational house of
worship in October, 2000.
