The present English Gothic Church of
stone occupied by this ancient Episcopal so-
ciety at the corner of Brown and St. Peter
Streets was built in 1833 on land given by
Philip English, a wealthy merchant of his time,
for the site of the first church erected by the
society in 1733. During the War of the Revolu-
tion public feeling against everything English
ran so high that a law was enacted by the
State Legislature forbidding the reading of the
Episcopal service under penalty of 100 pounds
and one year's imprisonment, and religious
services were consequently suspended while
the property of the society suffered from law-
less violence.
