St. Stephen's Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at Earleville, Cecil County, Maryland. The church has a single-story rectangular stuccoed brick main block, three bays by three, resting on a partially excavated fieldstone foundation and covered by a steeply pitched slate roof. The church features a 4-story bell tower with broach spire and patterned slate roof. This Gothic Revival structure was built in 1870–1874 but incorporated the walls of the earlier churches of 1824 and 1735. A graveyard surrounds the structure. The structure was designed by Thomas Dixon, a Baltimore architect.[2] North Sassafras Parish, as it was originally known, was one of the original 30 Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
