QAC Tour Special Project:

Historic Christ Church has been chosen as the MHGP 2025 Special Project. Therefore, proceeds from the Queen Anne’s County tour will be used to aid in the restoration of the Christ Church Historic Bell Tower, ensuring the preservation of this significant landmark for future generations. The 1880 church is distinguished by a steep slate roof, and an unusual chimney designed in the medieval ‘lancet’ style and is garnished with simple yet pleasing stained glass windows arranged in three pairs along each side wall with larger arched windows in the south gable behind the altar. The bell tower adjoins the east facade. The church’s dramatic interior is dominated by the steeply pitched ceiling that rises heavenward above the congregation and is supported by open, stick-style trusses that divide the building into four bays. A superb example of the Queen Anne style of ecclesiastical architecture and also one of the most carefully preserved Victorian Churches in Maryland, Christ Church is an historic gem.

Special Lunch Option:

A delicious Fried Chicken lunch with two sides, prepared by the women of Bryan’s Church, will be available for $15.00. Reservations are recommended. To reserve your meal, call 410-827-7905 (home) or 410-739-5030 (cell). Box lunches will be distributed at Bryan’s Church, where seating will be provided.
