THE CHURCHES OF RICHMOND Photography by John DeMajo |
St. John's Episcopal Church Richmond, VA. |
| Saint John's Church is probably the most historically important church in the Richmond area. For it was here that Patrick Henry delivered his "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. The church is the original building from the pre-Revolutionary War Era with modifications and enlargements that occurred over time. |
