Upper Church, Stratton Major Parish is a historic Episcopal church located near Shanghai, King and Queen County, Virginia. It was built between about 1724 and 1729, and is a one-story, rectangular, brick structure, measuring 33 feet, 9 inches, long by 64 feet. The church is topped by a steeply pitched gable roof with a box cornice and cornice returns. The church was restored after a fire gutted the interior in the 1840s. The church has been used by Baptists and later Methodists since the early-19th century.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
