Description

Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church Cemetery is located beside Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church on U.S. Route 360 in Heathsville, Northumberland County, Virginia. The parish traces its origins to 1698, when Bowtracy and Fairfield parishes were combined. Land for the present church was purchased in 1874, and the building was consecrated in 1881. The cemetery is a later addition to the property and occupies the lawn behind the church. The church is a wood-frame rural Gothic building with board-and-batten siding, pointed stained-glass windows, a rose window, and an original bell preserved on the grounds. Cemetery visitors should distinguish this Northumberland County site from other Virginia cemeteries using the Saint Stephen’s name.
