It and the Abingdon Glebe House are among the oldest buildings in Virginia and were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

[1] The parish was established shortly after the founding of Gloucester County in 1651, to serve the county's southern portion along the York River, and a church was built near the current site on land donated by Col. Augustine Warner Jr., who twice served as speaker of Virginia's House of Burgesses.

Thus, the glebe house, built around 1700, is older than the current parish church and is one of the earliest examples of a hipped roof in the state, as well as being one of the most well-preserved after restoration circa 1954.

Col. Lewis Burwell donated a communion set made in London in 1702 to the parish, which remains in use today.
