About Mowbray chapel
Rebuilt, Renovated and Renewed.
In 1864, the land at 5179 Quaker Neck Road was purchased by the Methodist Episcopal Church to build Walton Chapel.
Twenty-five years later, it was destroyed by fire. Under the energetic leadership of Pastor W.R. Mowbray, the chapel was rebuilt and renamed Mowbray. Today, it’s one of only a few true Greek Revival structures in Kent County.
Along with the Cliffs school, Mowbray served not only as a chapel, but as a focus for social activity for the community of Cliffs (or Cliff City) and the neighboring farms.
Over the years, the chapel was deserted and fell into a ruinous condition. It remained abandoned until 1963, when it along with the surrounding acreage was sold. The interior was cleaned and a new roof added to sustain Mowbray but not transform it.
“How can you not love interesting old buildings? Their history, architecture, character and most of all, their individual stories… From the moment you step through the double doors, you too will experience the extraordinary charm and warmth of Mowbray Chapel.”
