The street leading to the chapel has tiny shops, an apothecary, candle maker, and postal office. The long dramatic drive to the stately manor house is lined with aged trees. Behind the house are formal English gardens with a resident peacock strutting amidst the flowers.

Merchants Hope Church, located in Prince George County, Virginia, is the model for this chapel. Among the oldest Protestant churches in America, it was built in 1744.
