[1]Added to NRHP: August 09, 1984 Coventry Parish Ruins are the remnants of a historic Episcopal church located at Rehobeth, Somerset County, Maryland. It consists of a two-story seven-by-three-bay Flemish bond brick church erected between 1785 and 1788. The ruin has been reduced to three primary walls, since the south wall rises only a foot above ground level, except for one single-story pier. At the time of its construction it was the largest Episcopal church on Maryland's Eastern Shore.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
