300 year old parish solid as a rock

Nov 2022 • Solo

Rock Church has been serving the spiritual needs (and architectural interests) of Cecil County for around three centuries (1720). The huge granite outcropping or rock nearly blocks the church from view if one is coming from the east on Telegraph Road. The church went through several names in the early days from New Erection on the branches of Elk River, then Elk River Church, Great Elk, and Upper Elk. Since 1793, it has been called Rock, probably for both religious and geological reasons. The basic structure has been modified a few times but kept its distinctive appearance. These changes resulted in a Victorian Gothic influenced appearance. On the property, a white church hall sits atop the hill overlooking the church, and a small chapel and office lies across Rock Church Road between the road and Little Elk Creek. One can surmise a historical connection with the colinial era village on the other side of the creek. Rock Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It's great to see living history tight in rural Cecil County.
