Hungars Church
Hungars Church, also known as Hungars Parish Church, is a historic Episcopal church located at Bridgetown, Northampton County, Virginia. Since 1828, when an additional church was constructed about nine miles away in Eastville (which is now also one of the oldest churches on Virginia's Eastern Shore), the parish has had two churches. History Accawmake Kingdome was the original homeland of the American Indigenous Accawmacke Indians. They had a flourishing settlement of small towns before the English immigrants arrived. Those colonists established Accomack Shire as one of the eight original shires, and included what later became Accomack and Northampton counties on the Delmarva Peninsula. The first assigned clergyman was Rev. Francis Bolton. This land was patented (claimed) by Rev. John Cotton, who farmed as well as served as the parish's second rector, from about 1632 to 1645.M.C.
