Viewer Discretion Advised: Aftermath Photographs of the Burning of the Presbyterian Church in College Hill, Mississippi

On Saturday, August 13, 2022 at approximately 10:30 pm, the historic Presbyterian Church in College Hill, Mississippi caught fire. Local fire departments and residents tried to save the community church from burning, but the sanctuary was lost to the blaze.

All of these photographs were taken August 1415, 2022 by Newt Rayburn, with help from daughter Alex Rayburn (age 7).

This photograph was taken by my daughter, Alex Rayburn on my Canon T4i with a 300mm Canon lens. Sunday, August 14, 2022.
