A small, board and batten church, this wooden structure has a long, narrow nave; small, deep chancel; and an entrance porch on the south side. The altar faces the west. The sharply-pointed, gabled entrance porch with its pointed archway is paralleled by a slightly bell-cast, pointed­ gable sacristy of about the same size. Behind the sacristy is a tall, narrow bell tower with an open belfry. The pointed arches of this belfry support a modified brooch spire roofed with fish-scale shingling. Small rectangular window openings frame stained glass lancet windows. There are three similar lancets above the altar in the east wall m of the chancel. The west entrance forms a passageway to a similar board and batten parish hall, which runs at m right angles to the main church. This parish hall may be recent, although it blends perfectly with the style of z the church. The rather stark interior of the church has a central aisle, 'poppy headed' pews, and dark wood cross trussing in the ceiling. There is a large churchyard to the north of the church. Although sometimes reputed to be by the noted church archi­ tect, Richard Upjohn, Christ Church was at least built from 0 designs offered by his Rural Architecture (1852). This z book 'gave' architect-designed plans for rural parishes, with the result that some of the finest 'Upjohn churches' are these small board and batten structures of rural parishes (e.g., Brunswick, Maine; Warsaw, New York; and at the Hannah More School in Baltimore County). They represent America's own version of the 'Parish Perpendicular.' In a very good state of preservation in which the 19th-century feeling has been retained, Christ Church was built according to Ecclesiological principles with a long, narrow, and high nave, and a deep chancel--the hallmark of Upjohn's ecclesi­ astical work for Episcopal churches. Upjohn treated other Protestant denominations differently . --- -~ - ------- --- (,£•'-!• AA-221 t'i· SIGNIFICANCE PER10D (Check OnC' or More ns Approprintc) [_I Pro-Column1an I I 16th Century I [ 18th Century ·"[ I 20th Crnt11r y I I 15th Contu1 y I I l /tl1 ( cr1tury I}{ l?t/1 Crr1l11ry 1----------- --· ·---- - . ----------·-·----···---------l SPECIFIC OATE(SJ (If Applicublt• unclK11ow11J 1869 AREAS OF SIGNIFICANCE (Check Une or More"·' Approprintf-) :=-_-1 Urban Planning Aber iginal r:::t Education [J Political 0 Prehistoric CJ Engineering :kl Religion 1 Phi.

His first building was Symphony House (1833) in Bangor, Maine. Five years later, Upjohn had moved to New York City and was working on Trinity Church (1839-1846) on Wall Street. Modeled on English Gothic examples, Trin­ ity Church inaugurated a new departure in the American Gothic Revival style. Upjohn's numerous churches and resi­ dences located from New England to North Carolina estab­ z lished his role in 19th-century American architectural history. w The significance of Upjohn's contribution to American archi­ w tecture was expanded by his architectural books, such as Rural Architecture (1852). Groups like Christ Church parish or individuals could choose a design from a book instead of hiring an architect to erect a church following Upjohn's plans. Through this "borrowing" of designs, Upjohn's architectural influence spread. The Upjohn-style church in Owensville, Maryland, was built through the generosity o·f Mrs. Ellen Hall McCaleb Burwell, in memory of her two children, one of whom died in a sleighing accident and one from yellow fever. Christ Church, created as an independent parish in 1862, occupies the site of an earlier chapel of ease of its "mother" parish, St. James-the-Less.

  • Soundings the Newsletter of Christ Church October 2016
    Soundings The Newsletter of Christ Church www.christchurchpelham.org October 2016 Church School Joy and hope are the words that come to mind as we begin a new year of Sunday School. Joy that we are blessed to work with our parish’s children and hope that they will come away with a greater understanding of Jesus and of the Episcopal tradition. More importantly, we try to demonstrate the faith in a meaningful way so that the children have a foundation for their future. Each Sunday we teach children ranging in age from Pre-k through 7th graders. We started with a group prayer and then broke into classes lead by Eileen Peluso-Hoffer, Maddie Nichols, Julie Pena, Jessica Abrams, Pat O’Byrne, Curtis Chase and Janet Kornfeld. In church school, we create an environment where children can explore our faith, hear the lessons, ask questions and find ways to apply what they have learned to their lives and to the world in which we live today. With one exception, we are not teachers and none of us would claim to be a theologian, but each of us brings a passion to touching the lives of the children of our parish. If you have questions, please reach out to any of the teachers, or Marcie Wiehagen, the director. For something a little different, we crafted two puzzles that will tell you more about Sunday School and a little something more about our teachers. Have your child try the crossword and the word jumble and bring it in next Sunday for a prize.
