The church is beautiful inside and out. The original building was built in 1832. It seems all the rectors died in short period of time. Will attach notes from your:

Deed given back to church. 500k historic landmark. A lot of weddings. Symphony and chorus. No longer a congregation.

1st 3 rectors are buried under floor boards. The graves are the only ones here. 2 out of 3 were found to be tampered by archeologist.
