It was built in 1736, and is a one-story, gable roofed brick building. It measures approximately 34 feet by 74 feet and has walls 22 inches thick. The front facade features a small pedimented porch supported on square brick columns, both probably added in the early-19th century. Also on the property is a contributing church cemetery. Among the more-notable persons who often attended services at Fork Church were Patrick Henry, Dolly Madison, and the novelist Thomas Nelson Page. From 1893 to 1903, Fork Church's rector was the Reverend S. S. Hepburn, grandfather of actress Katharine Hepburn.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[2] References1. ^ {{cite web |title=Virginia Landmarks Register |url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/register_counties_cities.htm |publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources |accessdate=5 June 2013 }} 2. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Hanover/042-0012_Fork_Church_1970_Final_Nomination.pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Fork Church |author=Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission| date=November 1969|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources}} and Accompanying photo External links
