Trinity Episcopal Church Elkton
Description
A Place To Belong,
A Place To Serve,
A Place to Grow! Early in 1832 an organization known as Trinity Episcopal Church was formed in Elkton, a town at the head of the Elk River, one of the tributaries of the massive Chesapeake Bay, in the northeast corner of Maryland. The lot upon which the first Trinity Church was erected was deeded to the Vestry by Samuel Hollingsworth. On Friday, November 23, 1832, Bishop Stone consecrated a frame church building.
By the 1860's the congregation had grown and a larger structure was needed. The present stone Gothic-style church was erected and consecrated by Bishop Kerfoot of Pittsburgh on St. Barnabas Day, 1867. Trinity was separated from North Elk Parish in 1871 and encompassed a wide area of Cecil County, henceforth known as Trinity Parish.
In 1877 a rectory was purchased and moved from Main Street to Bridge Street at the site of the present rectory. A disastrous fire in 1896 destroyed the chancel and sanctuary of the church which were subsequently repaired and improved. Trinity Parish House was built in 1904 and in 1941 the second floor was finished to provide additional rooms for the Church School. In 1953 a large addition was completed. The capital improvement program of 1953 also included the demolition of the old rectory and the building of the present brick, Cape Cod-type structure.
