Deep Run Historical Plaque Text

Built on this hill in 1742, Deep Run was established as an Episcopal chapel. It was modeled after St. John's church in Richmond, and constructed with wooden pegs and beams which remain part of the present structure.

It is reported that during the Revolutionary War, the church served as a hospital for wounded soldiers and a gathering place for Lafayette at one time.

In 1791 the Dover Association constituted "Hungry Church", the original name of Deep Run, from Chickahominy Church (now Winn's in Hanover County). In 1819 the name of the church was officially changed to Deep Run.
