In 1892 we outgrew
our chapel known as "Old Chapel"
and built Christ Church in the relatively new
village of Millwood.
During this period, nearly every Episcopal church
from the southern end of the Shenandoah Valley
into what is now West Virginia
was established by the Rt. Rev. William Meade, third
Bishop of Virginia,
and fifth rector of our parish.
The parish was named
"Frederick,"
for the county from which it was formed in 1733.
One of our many missions, Christ Church in Winchester,
requested the Frederick Parish name
when they became independent,
and we gave it to them and re-named ourselves
Cunningham Chapel Parish.
