Glebe
Church is 277 years old this year. In 1775, the frame church called
glebe built around 1640, was the site of the first open defiance to the
British Crown on the south side of the James River. In "ruinous repair"
by 1737, a new church known as Bennett's Creek Church, was completed
the next year. The Suffolk parish existed until it was dissolved in
1998 by the Council of the Diocese of Southern Virginia and The Glebe
Church, Bennett's Creek Parish was formed. A parish hall dedicated to
Rev. Keener was built in 2003.
