The name of the church is St. Paul's. It is on Butte Street I believe. I have not been home in five years. But the church is just two blocks from the MacArthur Memorial museum. At the time of the war, I believe the street was the waterfront of Norfolk.

Yesterday I took visiting family to St. John's with instructions from hubby to photograph the cannon ball if possible. To my surprise and his dismay, the tour guide said as far as she knew there was no cannon ball in the church wall. Can anyone shed light on this? Did hubby mix up stories?
