St. John’s Episcopal Church in Oakdale is located on Montauk Highway between Locust Avenue and Berard Boulevard. Built in 1765 by William Nicoll, descendant of the first patentee of Islip, it was originally named Charlotte Church, after the wife of King George III of England. During the Revolutionary War, the church is believed to have been occupied by the British and used as a barrack. (1) According to local lore, some British soldiers died there and are buried in unmarked graves in the cemetery. When the Revolutionary War ended, the church was renamed St. John’s Church, and the Nicoll family remained stewards of the church, which was adjacent to their home. The last Nicoll family descendant overseeing the church, Nicoll Ludlow, died in December 9, 1915 and his cremated remains are buried in the churchyard. (2) The church, which was placed on the National Register in 1994, is still active as an Episcopal congregation.
