That is a magnificent steeple on that church. Perhaps it is a Congregational Church? Likely so. We are exiting what used to be called “mud season.” During this somewhat bleak time of year, one might travel around rural New England and wonder, “how long have these people been living here, 300 years?” Rome may not have been built in a day. But it was built. Thank the Lord for our Congregational churches. What would there be in our landscape to admire without them?
That steeple is a beauty. Alas, membership numbers in all churches are declining almost dramatically. Will there be enough churchgoers, in future years, to care for these beautiful structures?
Great photos!

ReplyDeleteIt looks almost identical to the steeple on the Old North Church in Boston. I wonder if that was a standard, popular design for a time? Wonderful!
