A Brief History of Elkton, Maryland
Early in 1832 an organization known as
Trinity Episcopal Church was formed in Elkton, a town at the
head of the Elk River, one of the tributaries of the massive
Chesapeake Bay, in the northeast corner of Maryland. The
lot upon which the first Trinity Church was erected was
deeded to the Vestry by Samuel Hollingsworth. On Friday,
November 23, 1832, Bishop Stone consecrated a frame church
building.
By the 1860's the congregation had grown
and a larger structure was needed. The present stone
Gothic-style church was erected and consecrated by Bishop
Kerfoot of Pittsburgh on St. Barnabas Day, 1867. Trinity
was separated from North Elk Parish in 1871 and encompassed
a wide area of Cecil County, henceforth known as Trinity
Parish.
In 1877 a rectory was purchased and moved
from Main Street to Bridge Street at the site of the present
rectory. A disastrous fire in 1896 destroyed the chancel
and sanctuary of the church which were subsequently repaired
and improved. Trinity Parish House was built in 1904 and in
1941 the second floor was finished to provide additional
rooms for the Church School. In 1953 a large addition was
completed. The capital improvement program of 1953 also
included the demolition of the old rectory and the building
of the present brick, Cape Cod-type structure.
During its 173-year history Trinity
Parish has been served by twenty-three priests. The parish
is experiencing a time of growth and rebuilding, serving
about 130 households.
