Westover Church

Westover Church is a historic church located 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Charles City off Virginia State Route 5 in Charles City, Virginia, United States.

[6] Between 1611 and 1613, as the colonists moved west from Jamestown, several small parishes were formed, Weyanoke, Wallingford, and Wilmington, among others.

In 1724 Westover Parish became and remains coterminous with Charles City County.

However, in about 1833 religious services were revived by a missionary to the county, the Reverend Parke Farley Berkeley.

Worshipers at Westover have included farmers, plantation owners, slaves, as well as US Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and Theodore Roosevelt.
