Great Fork Anglican Church Cemetery is located east of the home at 23537 Maddens Tavern Road in Elkwood, Virginia (38.431062, -77.818457). This historic church, that no longer stands, has at least one burial with historic records suggesting more unmarked burials between the 1740-1790 era. The identified Joseph Ball Downman grave is 10'x10', but there are possibly up to twenty burials at this site. Some of the cemetery is located in a farm field. This cemetery is abandoned and in very poor condition. The church was the first pre-Revolutionary War Anglican, and later Episcopalian, Church in Culpeper County. This cemetery was located on the north side of the Great Fork Anglican Church that was built in 1732, which was also the first church built in what would later become Culpeper County (founded in 1749). This cemetery was located and surveyed by James Bish in May of 2022.
