Comments
This church was originally Tohickon Presbyterian Church, located east of Clay Ridge Rd. in Tinicum Twp. The Stewart/Bunker Hill Cemetery (see listing) was connected to this Church. This congregation moved to Red Hill (now Ottsville) and built a new building starting in 1766. The Presbyterians, Lutherans, Reformed and later the UCC have all used this church building and possibly the cemetery. Visit saintlukesucc.org/history.html
