 ordained deacon by the Bishop of New York, 25th July, 1S37 ; and Priest

The parish church comprises a nave, sixty-five feet by twenty-two, 

 with two small transeptal buildings, east porch and a bell turret over 

 the eastern gable. It is constructed of common granite, in a very solid 

 manner. In the rear, is a small wooden school and vestry-room out of 

 all keeping with the main edifice. 



The style is gothic, and may be called the transitional second pointed. 

 The chancel window, of three lights, is filled with stained glass of ex- 

 quisite coloring, representing the adoration of the magi; over this is 

 a circular light bearing the Agnus Dei with the appropriate legend, "Be- 

 hold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world." This 

 window, and several of the nave, were executed and presented to the 

 church by the Rev. William Jay Bolton, A. M., vicar of Stratford East, 

 near London, England. The two windows, on either side of the chancel, 

 are after patterns in Salisbury cathedral ; and were executed and pre- 

 sented by the Rev. John Bolton, rector of Trinity church, Westchester, 

 Penn. The northern window of the transept bears the arms of the old 

 Manorial Lords, Ermine, on a canton azure, a pelican or, vulned gules, 

 while the southern is charged with those of the Reverend Founder : 

 sable, a label for difference, a falcon argent, beaked, jessed, membered 

 and belled or, charged on the breast with a trefoil, slipped ppr. The 

 open rafters of the church rest on half length figures of angels projecting 

 from the wall. The interior contains the following monumental inscrip-
