St. John's Episcopal Church, NW. corner Beaver St. and Gas Alley, was built in 1766 as the church of St. John the Baptist in the Wilderness. The structure, topped with a tower and belfry bearing the date of 1769, is of brick, painted gray, and has an entrance portico. In the cupola is the bell that once hung in the old courthouse on the square. Commonly known as York's 'Liberty Bell', it announced the news of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Within the church are many Revolutionary relics.

Space is very limited, the graves being along the exterior sides and back of the church and in the interior. The cemetery has been closed for over a century to new burials.
