Wickliffe Church is a historic Episcopal church building located at Berryville, Clarke County, Virginia. It was built in 1846, and is a two-story, brick church in the Greek Revival style. It features a distyle-in-antis portico in addition to stepped gable ends and an open belfry. Also on the property is a contributing cemetery with the remains of members of the Williams family, donors of the land on which the church was built. The church was named Wickliffe after John Wycliffe, who first translated the Bible into English. The church has not been in active use since 1918, except for an annual homecoming service held in August and occasional special events.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1] It is located in the Cool Spring Battlefield historic district.
