Grace Church, Episcopal church in Yorktown, United States

Grace Church stands at Route 1003 and Main Street, featuring Greek Revival architecture with walls constructed from marl slabs from the nearby riverbank.

The church, established in 1697, served as a powder magazine during the American Revolution and sustained damage when Lord Cornwallis' soldiers occupied it in 1781.

Thomas Nelson Jr., who signed the Declaration of Independence, attended services at Grace Church along with other prominent colonial families of Yorktown.

The church property encompasses one acre of land and maintains regular Episcopal services while welcoming visitors interested in Colonial American history.

The church's Communion silver, presented to Hampton Parish in 1649, remains among the oldest sets still actively used in American religious services.
