Famous Churches:

St Peter's Church  New Kent, (George and Martha Washington were married in this parish (and possibly in the church building itself) in 1759. Robert E. Lee and his family worshipped here.

Christ Church (Weems, John Carter had the first church built on this site; it was completed in 1670 after his death. In 1730, his son Robert "King" Carter, colonial Virginia's most powerful planter, proposed to build a brick church here at his own expense, which the vestry of Christ Church Parish accepted. Finished in 1735, Christ Church is the best-preserved and most finely crafted of colonial Virginia's Anglican parish churches.)
