Middleham Chapel

Places to Experience History

Middleham Chapel in Lusby, founded in 1684, was formed as a chapel of ease by Christ Church Port Republic.  It is one of the oldest Episcopal churches in Maryland.  The current brick chapel building was constructed in 1748.  Its history spans nearly the entire history of European settlement in Southern Maryland, including the period of settlement, enslavement, reconstruction, Jim Crow, Civil Rights, and up to today.
