Wakefield Chapel - 8415 Toll House Road - Annandale, VA 22003

Wakefield Chapel

Wakefield Chapel was built in 1899 on land donated by local sawmill owner, Oliver Besley. The chapel was named for its first local preacher, the Reverend E. W. Wakefield and served as a community church until 1951. Although Reverend Wakefield was affiliated with the Methodist Church, the deed of trust for the land did not specify that church as trustee nor did it reserve the exclusive use of the chapel to any denomination. The non-denominational spirit of the original Deed of Trust is maintained under the stewardship of the Fairfax County Park Authority.

A country gothic structure with white clapboard siding and arched windows, Wakefield Chapel is a quaint setting for weddings of up to 99. The chapel features four rows of original pews, the beautifully restored original pulpit, a large bridal changing area and may be rented separately or in conjunction with one of our seven reception sites.

Located at 8415 Toll House road, Wakefield Chapel may be reached by taking Beltway Exit 52A west (Little River Turnpike) to a left on Wakefield Chapel Road to a left on Toll House Road. The chapel is on the left. Parking is available at Chapel Square Media Center on Holburn Avenue, the first left past the chapel.
