Gone from here, but not forgotten

In all it's glory before being dismantled and trucked to Abita Springs, Louisiana.

Two hundred and fifty nine years after The Expulsion of the Acdians, an Annapolis County church finds a new home in Louisiana.

"Built between 1811 and 1822, All Saints Anglican is a fine example of church architecture. It's overall proportions are classical in form and the exterior detailing is Classical or Georgian. The Steeple is reminiscent of the elegant spires designed by Christopher Wren." Denise J Rice

Denise J Rice, of Lequille, Annapolis County-— a Mapannapolis volunteer---compiled and published an impressive book, an inventory of churches and graveyards in Annapolis County. That work has become a digital map you'll find here. Mapannapolis is grateful for the opportunity to add this map to its collection.

In November of 2014, PBS in the United States aired an eight minute story about this Annapolis County church and its relocation to Louisiana. This link will take you there.
