It is a rural parish church constructed in 1834, and remodeled to its present vernacular Gothic-influenced appearance in 1890. The church is constructed of brick and features a three-stage buttressed and crenelated tower at the entrance, a low one-story chancel, and Gothic influenced walnut furnishings.[2] South Sassafras Parish, as it was originally known, was one of the original 30 Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland.
