About Us:

Sherwood Episcopal Church is one of 118 parishes in the Diocese of Maryland.  Sherwood Church is a beautiful 1830 gothic revival style sanctuary which overlooks Limestone Valley and the town of Cockeysville.  Frances Thwaits Deye Taylor offered the community (Rector, Vestry and Congregation) a gift of five acres of land.  She wanted a chapel to be built there and requested that it be called “Sherwood” after her own estate in Cockeysville, and taken from Sherwood Forest in England.
