Yeocomico Church is a historic Episcopal church in Westmoreland County in the U.S. state of Virginia. The original wooden structure was built in 1655, but replaced in 1706 by a structure built of locally fired bricks.[4] It is now the main church of historic Cople parish, which also includes the older Nomini Church (already existing in 1699, but in infrequent use for at least the last century and damaged by a tornado in February 2016),[5] and St. James Church (built 1890) in Tidwells, Virginia[6] The parish hall is in Hague, Virginia. Yeocomico Church, the fourth oldest in the state, was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1970.[3][7]
The historic cemetery includes the graves of several bishops and author John Dos Passos.
