Abstract:

Built in the 1880s, St. Phillip's Episcopal Church in Germanton has five members. The church has no electricity, no plumbing or heat, and no priest. The five members work to repair and restore the church. Last summer, Reverend William S Wells of Winston-Salem conducted services in the church on Sunday afternoons. Since the Stokes' county seat has been moved to Danbury, activity in Germanton has slowed, and in 1959, the courthouse was torn down.
