On January 1, 1776, Norfolk was shelled by ships commanded by Lord Dunmore, the last Colonial Governor of Virginia. A cannonball lodged in the southeastern corner of the church. Not long after Dunmore’s attack, Norfolk was burned by Virginia patriots. The church walls remained standing, though the rest of the structure was destroyed. Hessian troops used the burnt out church in 1781 as a fort. The church was rebuilt in 1785-1786, and thus remains as the only relic of colonial Norfolk. In 1840, a cannonball believed to be one which had lodged in the wall of the church, was discovered underground, beneath a depression in the wall. The ball was replaced in the hole and remains there today.
