From Wikipedia:

Old Christ Church (Laurel, Delaware)

Old Christ Church, also known as Old Lightwood, is a historic Episcopal church near Laurel, Delaware. The 1772 church resembles its parent church, Green Hill Church of Stepney Parish in Wicomico County, Maryland, except that while Stepney was built in brick, Christ Church is of wood construction. Its weathered appearance gave rise to a nickname "Old Lightwood," although it now is painted barn red.
