Old Tennent Presbyterian Church
448 Tennent Road
Manalapan Township, NJ 07726
Standing atop White Oak Hill next to the Revolutionary War's Monmouth Battlefield, this magnificent 18th century Meeting House has endured the ravages of battle, storm, litigation, and time to remain one of America's most historically significant churches.
Listed on the National Register of Historical Places, the history of this church starts in 1692, just down the street five miles from its current location. Eventually a move was made and in 1751, and the present church was built.
Typical of the simple houses of worship built by strong and devout early settlers, Old Tennent is used today by one of the oldest organized religious groups of our State. It has had continuous existence for more than ten generations. The congregation was formed in 1692 by a group of Scottish Dissenters who had fled their homeland to escape James IIâs severe persecution for their beliefs. It has occupied its existing building since 1751, and the structure has undergone little fundamental change.
This lovely church once served as a hospital during a celebrated engagement in the War for Independence -- the Battle of Monmouth -- which raged around it on June 28, 1778. In that encounter the Colonial troops, under Washington's personal command, forced a withdrawal of the enemy, which virtually ended Britain's military effectiveness in the northern part of the country.
