One of the 3 oldest buildings still standing is the Burton Parish Church. It is still an a episcopalian church. Built in 1715, it has the boxes inside with the names on them. Those were the days when your reserved pew really was. Of course they were actually boxes. The pulpit was up 8 feet off the ground . One of the other original buildings is the magazine where they stored arms the theft of which (by Lord Dunsmore) led to Lord Dunsmore's departure in 1775.
