St. Paul’s Parish, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, included three “chapels-of-ease” –the name traditionally given to church buildings constructed for the convenience of parishioners too remote to travel easily to the main parish church. One of the chapels-of-ease for St. Paul’s was “St. Luke’s Chapel, Wye”, located at the (then) head of navigation of the Wye River. In 1717, the St. Paul’s vestry contracted to build a replacement for the original St. Luke’s church, resulting in the structure that is now called Old Wye Church.
Funding for the church building plus a communion table and pulpit—came from local taxes (permitted in pre-Revolution Church of England North America), but the pews and all the other interior finishing had to be funded by the parishioners. Pews in the new church were auctioned off with tobacco as the medium of exchange. Four years later, St. Luke’s Chapel, Wye was opened in 1721.
In 1765, the vestry complained that Wye Chapel was “so small and incommodious that near one half of the Inhabitants in this part of the said Parish are without Seats… to attend Divine Worship therein”. Plans were made and funds were sought for an expansion of Old Wye, but the project was postponed and then abandoned (although a single gallery ultimately did get added, in 1792) due to the events of the American Revolution.
After the war, the English Church in America reorganized itself as the Protestant Episcopal Church. In the space of 20 years, Wye had six different rectors. In the 1830’s, all services ceased and the chapel, almost falling down, was being used as a stable for cattle.
During the Victorian period, the church went through changes and revivals but was in dire need of preservation by the 1920s. While repairs had been made in 1923 to the interior, little had been done to the damage to its exterior, which was bulging out and ready to fall under the weight of the slate roof. In 1947, Mr. Arthur A. Houghton, Jr., inspired by his involvement with reviving Colonial Williamsburg, completed a total restoration of the church and reconstruction of the vestry house from 1763.

☔️The much needed rains are finally here!! Despite the disruption to any outdoor weekend plans, we really have to celebrate.
🥵It has been hotter and drier than most of us can remember it being for a very long time, and it’s hard to get food to market under such challenging conditions.
🛌Please don’t let tomorrow’s showers give you a reason to miss market.
🌽Come out! Grab your yummies, stock up on smiles, and then, if you wish, you can hunker down and enjoy sweet sound of rain hitting the roof.
🧡We’re open RAIN OR SHINE, 8:30-11:30 @ 206 S. Talbot Street. We’re verified local. And we can’t wait to see you!
