| Finished in 1735, Christ Church is one of the most sophisticated works of architecture produced in colonial Virginia. The entire structure displays a craftsmanship unparalleled in the annals of church building in seventeenth and eighteenth-century Virginia. The best preserved of Virginia’s Anglican parish churches, Christ Church today affords visitors a rare look into a building that has changed little since Robert Carter’s sons helped complete it three years after their father’s death. In many respects, Christ Church remains “as it came from the hands of its builders.” |
