Woodschurch

28 W. Woodschurch Rd., Readington Twp.

Owned by Readington Twp.  Abandoned and fair to poor condition, In September 2018 The Mount Amwell Project signed an amendment to our maintenance agreement with Readington Twp. to maintain the site. Asher Hankinson, one of the trustees of the Grove (or Woods) Methodist Episcopal Church, gave the land on which the first church was built. His deed was conveyed September 5, 1829. The church was rebuilt in 1854 about 100 yards further north on W. Woodschurch Road. It was abandoned sixty years later and has since been demolished. Burials include Cole, Biggs, Hankinson, & Painter families. The MTAP Site Steward is Dennis Graney.
