ASK most people if they've heard of the Northern Neck of Virginia and you will probably have to mention famous Williamsburg, an hour south, to help them get their bearings. The state's northernmost peninsula, jutting out to the widest part of Chesapeake Bay, flanked by the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers, is home to old fishing villages, former steamboat ports and a wooded waterfront that has resisted large-scale development in a way few American shore towns have. It's every bit as bucolic as Maryland's Eastern Shore. The town of Irvington (population 496) is particularly seductive, a place where sleepy cul-de-sacs wind around quiet creeks, carvers continue to perfect the art of the decoy and tiny white clapboard Baptist and United Methodist churches line barely trafficked roads. Now, high-end housewares stores, men's and women's clothing boutiques, specialty food shops and restaurants that are decidedly cosmopolitan in both food and price have brought just the right measure of urban cachet to this otherwise lost-in-time seaside resort--unless you are "in the know" that is. And then there is Christ Church of Irvington. Finished in 1735, Christ Church was the most finely crafted Anglican parish church in all of colonial Virginia. The church's detailed brickwork, particularly the molded-brick doorways, had few rivals in Virginia and perhaps colonial America. The classical, full entablature was among the most sophisticated produced in the colony. With towering brick walls, vaulted ceilings, and large compass-headed windows, Christ Church cut an imposing figure in a Virginia landscape dotted by small, frame, earthfast buildings. On the interior, the superb high-backed pews, triple-decker pulpit, walnut altarpiece, and stone pavers gave the church a character unique among colonial houses of worship. No doubt it was one of the most astonishing buildings many colonial Virginians would see throughout their entire lives.
