The Gothic-Revival building looks like something out of old England with its ancient graveyard sitting on a hilltop overlooking the Church Hill community. It is the oldest Episcopal congregation in Mississippi, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Beautifully restored after many years, the church had at one time been home to a colony of bats that fluttered around its aging, crumbling plaster walls that told stories of times gone by. Even so, it has held services there the second and fourth Sunday of each month, and continues to do so for the families whose lives were spent in and around Church Hill and for members from Natchez, who travel there to attend.
Christ Church has held a special place in my heart since childhood, and I was able to sneak back in after services to take some photos.
