Jamestown Church

Jamestown Church, also known as the Jamestown Memorial Church, is a historic church building located in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. state of Virginia, on the site of what was once Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas, and the first capital of the Colony of Virginia. While the main structure of the church was built many centuries after the settlement was abandoned, it incorporates a ruined brick church tower dating from at least 1639, the only standing structural remnant from the original Jamestown colony. This distinction makes the tower and its connected church the oldest surviving building constructed by English settlers in the original Thirteen Colonies, and one of the oldest in the United States overall. The church also serves as a testament to the uneasy beginnings of the Jamestown colony, having had many locations and incarnations throughout the settlement's existence.

The building is now part of the Historic Jamestown cultural heritage site and is owned by Preservation Virginia (formerly known as the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities). It is also loosely affiliated with the Continuing Anglican movement and periodically hosts their church services. The ruins beneath and surrounding the church are currently being researched as part of the Jamestown Rediscovery archaeological project.
