Aquia Church (1751-1755), in Stafford, Virginia, USA, is an Episcopal church that has been designated a National Historic Landmark since 1991.[1][4] It maintains an active congregation with a variety of programs and outreach to the community.[5]
Established by the then-state Church of England, the church building was designed on a relatively rare "Greek Cross plan", less common for colonial churches.[1] It was built on the site of two earlier Anglican churches of Overwharton Parish, formed before 1680 by the division of Potomac Parish. It is located at the intersection of US 1 and VA 610 in Stafford.
