CHRIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Parish was organized in 1715; and the first
of three brick churches on this property was
finished about 1750. King George II of Eng-
land gave the parish a silver communion
service, Bible and prayer book in 1752. The
grave of the first rector, Rev. James Reed,
early advocate of public schools, is in the
church yard. The present church edifice
dates back to 1873.
