Originally known as Guinea, the village of Britain became the place of settlement for a free African American community in the mid 19th Century . Mount Sinai Free Baptist Church was built here in 1880 and served as a school for the community until 1915 . Unlike most of the black settlements in Loudoun County, Britain had a Post Office in operation. Its African American residents began to move elsewhere in the early 20th Century with the last black families leaving Britain in the 1920s . EXTERNAL LINKS |
