In 1752, another parish would be created in Culpeper County: the western half of the county (including all of what is now Madison County, all except the extreme northeastern corner of Rappahannock, and the northwest corner of modern Culpepr County) became the new parish of Bromfield, while the remaining region of the county (the majority of modern Culpeper county) remained as St. Mark's Parish. The creation of Bromfield Parish left many of the inhabitants of St. Mark's parish without a convenient church, and the rest of the year 1752 saw a flurry of activity in producing new places of worship. As a stopgap measure, services were ordered held in the county courthouse for a time after the creation of the new parish, with sufficient "Benches or Seats" tobe provided by the churchwardens.
