Rehobeth Presbyterian Church


Rehoboth Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church located at Westover, Maryland in Somerset County near the Pocomoke River and Chesapeake Bay.
William Stevens, an influential Somerset County citizen and member of the establishes Church of England issued a call to the Reverend Francis Makemie, an Ulster Scots clergyman who arrived in the colony and became known as the "Father of American Presbyterianism."
The old church is a simple one-story Flemish bond brick building, three bays wide by three deep, constructed about 1706. It was remodeled in 1888, and the original clear glass windows were replaced with the present leaded ones. The interior features a barrel-vault wooden ceiling, box pews with single raised panel on the ends, and a paneled gallery. A cemetery surrounds it, and several other buildings in complementary styles were erected nearby.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
