Admin/Biographical History
Bangor Episcopal Church, Churchtown, Pennsylvania
Appropriately named "Old Bangor," this church is the oldest non-coastal church in America of Episcopalian denomination. The founding date is a disputed one with oral history dating back to 1722 and written history starting in 1728. With a predominantly Welsh congregation, Bangor Episcopal Church was given a grant and charter in 1730 from William Penn. The church's official charter was created on 1 March 1786, and the church still operates under this charter. The present stone building was completed in 1830. Bishop Ondernack performed the consecration of the present building in 1832. Bangor Churchyard contains 325 tombstones and many unmarked graves. The oldest tombstone is dated 6 July 1741 and is in memory of a young girl, who died at the age of three. There are tombstones in the graveyard from all the wars since the Revolutionary War until World War II. Bangor Church still stands and operates in Churchtown, Caernarvon Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
