About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Saint Thomas's Chapel at Merry Hill was a branch of the Anglican Church (present-day Episcopal Church) in Society Parish, Bertie County, North Carolina.

Built in 1722, the chapel and burial ground were situated on 52 acres of land on Ducking Run, located on Cricket Road (present-day Old Merry Hill Road) one mile north of Nicholls Cross Roads (present-day Merry Hill) on the first high land after crossing Chapel Bridge on the left side of the road to Colerain. The area became known as "Chapel Bridge".

The chapel was destroyed by fire in 1831.

There are no visible remains of the chapel or the burial ground.

Saint Thomas's Chapel at Merry Hill was the namesake predecessor of Saint Thomas's Episcopal Church in Windsor.
