Beaverdam Episcopal Church was the second Episcopal Church in Goochland County and the eventual successor to Dover Episcopal Church. Both churches were founded as part of the Church of England and they served parishioners in Saint James Northam Parish during the the colonial era. Saint James Northam Parish was disestablished circa 1785, following the close of the Revolutionary War, and the Church of England in the former colonies became the Protestant Episcopal Church in America.

A historical marker stood along the south side of Fairground Road (Route 632) prior to widening and the addition of a right turn lane (37.698917, -77.832221). The marker read: "Beaverdam Episcopal Church — 288 Yards south is the site of the second Episcopal Church in Goochland County. Built before 1764, this church was in use until about 1861. William Douglas of Scotland was the rector until 1777. Among other rectors were Charles Hopkins and Richard Wilmer."

NOTE: There are no markers in the former cemetery, which now lies on private property.
