Bruton Parish Church is located in the restored area of Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. It was established in 1674 by the consolidation of two previous parishes in the Virginia Colony, and remains an active Episcopal parish. The roots of Bruton Parish Church trace back to both the Church of England and the new settlement of the Colony of Virginia at Jamestown in the early 17th century. The role of the church and its relationship to the government had been established by King Henry VIII some years earlier. The same relationship was established in the new colony. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruton_Parish_Church Texture by Skeletalmess: www.flickr.com/photos/skeletalmess/

The Ordinance of Labourers, passed in June 1349, declared that all men and women under the age of sixty who did not practice a craft must serve anyone requiring their labor. Parliament updated the law in 1495 and 1563, with the latter version, the Statute of Artificers, still being in effect when the English founded Jamestown.

Colonial Williamsburg: Reviews from families visiting Colonial Williamsburg. We took our 8 year old boy and 6 and 3 year old girls. They did have a lot of fun. We did a lot of walking that day, but they hung in there. While I agree with those who say it is best for older kids, it was still a fun day for our kids. The highlight was at the end of the day when they hold a parade, marching and canon firing exhibition.
