Yopps Meeting House, Greek Revival church in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina.
Yopps Meeting House is a one-story frame building featuring a steep gable roof and Greek Revival design elements at the junction of NC 172. The rectangular structure sits on a property spanning around 3.7 acres with cemetery grounds.
An earlier structure may have occupied this site around 1813, but the current building was constructed in 1890. This location has functioned as a gathering place for worship across two centuries.
The two separate burial grounds on the property reflect how this congregation served people from different backgrounds. Each cemetery shows how worshippers maintained their own burial traditions within the same religious community.
The property sits near Sneads Ferry Road and is easy to access. Visitors should remember this remains an active religious site and should approach the grounds respectfully.
The cemetery plots are enclosed with distinctive wrought-iron fencing that dates from the site's earliest years. This ironwork is a rare example of the craftmanship from the period when the burial grounds were established.
