- Description
- This is the third structure bearing this name. The first was built in 1682 on another site. In 1723 a new church was erected and the old edifice demolished. During a conflagration in 1796, the spire caught fire, but a negro climbed to it and extinguished the flames. In 1835 it was burned down, and the present church was opened May 3d, 1838. The steeple is nearly 200 feet high, from which, at night, a beacon light shines far out to sea.
