St. Philip's Church, Brunswick Town
St. Philip's Church, Brunswick Town, Colonial Anglican church ruins in Brunswick County, United States.
The brick walls of St. Philip's Church stand 24 feet high, stretching 76 feet in length and 53 feet in width, with three large entrance doors.
Construction of St. Philip's Church began in 1754, but British forces burned the structure in 1776 during the American Revolutionary War, leaving only its walls intact.
The church served as His Majesty's Chapel in North Carolina and contains the burial sites of several colonial officials, including Governor Arthur Dobbs.
Visitors can examine visible cannon marks on the church walls from the 1865 Civil War battle and explore the surrounding Brunswick Town State Historic Site.
The three-foot-thick walls, constructed with imported English bricks, withstood both fire and naval artillery, preserving the structure's original dimensions.
