Lawne’s Creek Church
Approximately six miles to the north, near Hog Island Creek, is the site of Lawne’s Creek Church. Authorized in 1629 as a “chapel of ease” for the settlers in the area by the Council and General Court of Colonial Virginia, the church was the site of a meeting in 1673 to protest unjust taxation and government without representation and to manifest a spirit of religious independence.
Marker is at the intersection of Colonial Trail East (Route 10) and Hog Island Road (County Route 650) on Colonial Trail East.
