The “big church” located on the east side of the main road. In 1803, a new church was built on this site to replace the poorly built and drafty church on the point. It was destroyed in the fire of 1820 and was replaced by this one. The parish rectory, which was also rebuilt after the fire of 1820, is located across the road from the church. This rectory was destroyed by fire in 1893.
Date: [ca. 1830]
