Quintessential New England Church

Thought this to be very typical of a lot of the Churchs found in small town New England

Very pretty.

Is the "1858" over the door an address or a date?

Nice one. Interesting steeple with the open bellfry. Looks like it might have also been a meeting house at one time.

Actually the old town hall sits about 40 yards away, just off to my left as I was taking the pic. They both sit in an area surrounded by a circle road where 8 roads come together.

Beautiful shot, Sandy. I like old church architecture, and no place has more of them than New England. You managed that tough sidelight very well.

Nice composition, Sandy.

Norman Rockwell would have appreciated the faithful rendition. :-)

Great capture of a nice looking church, Sandy.

Thanks ; Tupe, ayotnoms, and Lonnie. Not sure that it's Norman Rockwell quality but thank you very much with comparing my photo to one of the great illustrators.
