POHICK EPISCOPAL CHURCH


9301 Richmond Highway, Lorton, Va.


Pohick Church was constructed 1768-1774 to replace Lewis Chapel, formerly located a few miles to the south. This large cemetery contains many interesting markers, including WILLIAM HARRIS (d. 1698), the oldest surviving gravestone in Fairfax County. All of the pre-1870 gravestones were moved here from other graveyards in the area as the church and grounds suffered serious neglect and damage in both the post-Revolution disestablishement period and the Civil War.
