It is the mother Episcopal Church of Calvert County and its oldest continually worshipping congregation.[1] Middleham Chapel was started from this congregation as a Chapel of Ease. Christ Church Parish was one of the original 30 Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland. Burials in the church cemetery include former U. S. Representative Thomas Parran Sr.[2] and United States Coast Guard Admiral Merlin O'Neill.
