Shrewsbury Church is a historic Episcopal church located at Kennedyville, Kent County, Maryland, United States. It is a rural parish church constructed in 1834, and remodeled to its present vernacular Gothic-influenced appearance in 1890. The church is constructed of brick and features a three-stage buttressed and crenelated tower at the entrance, a low one-story chancel, and Gothic influenced walnut furnishings.[2] South Sassafras Parish, as it was originally known, was one of the original 30 Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland. Buried in the churchyard is John Cadwalader, a general of the American Revolutionary War.[3][4]

Shrewsbury Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
