Mangohick Church


Mangohick Church, also known as Mangohick Baptist Church, is a historic Baptist church located in the community of Mangohick, King William County, Virginia. It was constructed in 1730, and is a one-story, rectangular brick building with a steep gable roof. It measures 61 feet by 21 feet. Originally built for an Episcopalian congregation, it was apparently abandoned by them soon after the Disestablishment. The church remains in active use.
Bricks used to build the church were purported to have been shipped from England during colonial times. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
During the Civil War, General Grant pitched his tent near the church, on May 27, 1864 as he maneuvred South and East of General Lee in the prelude to the Battle of Cold Harbor.
