Church is on left entering Norwood. A historical marker was placed in the churchyard on May 14, 2011, honoring the Rev. Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin, who lived in Norwood from 1871-1885, and who is often called the "Father of Colonial Williamsburg" for inspiring philanthropist John D. Rockefeller to invest millions in restoring the historical Colonial Williamsburg. Rev. Dr. Goodwin was serving at a church in Williamsburg when he was acquainted with Mr. Rockefeller.
Rev. F.D. Goodwin was the first minister of Christ Episcopal Church, and was the grandfather of W.A.R. Goodwin. The original pews and pulpit furniture remain in the church.
The cemetery has old headstones, some of which are illegible, and some are imbedded in the church's foundation(see picture).
