Weathervane Wednesday ~ Above a Country Church

I post another in a series of weather vane photographs every Wednesday.  This started with images of weathervanes from the Londonderry, New Hampshire area, but now I've found interesting weather vanes all across New England and across the globe.  Sometimes my weather vanes are whimsical, or historical, but all are interesting.  Often my readers tip me off to some very unique or unusual weathervanes, too!  If you know a great weather vane near you, let me know if you'd like to have it featured on this blog.

Today's weather vane was photographed in New Hampshire.

Do you know the location of weathervane post #376?  Scroll down to find the answer.




 Today's weathervane is located on the steeple of the First Baptist church at 188 Deerfield Road in Candia, New Hampshire.  Candia is a small town of 3,900 people in Rockingham County.  This simple little church has a simple gilded banner weathervane.  It can be see from a long distance while driving on Route 43 (Deerfield Road).  The building is almost 180 years old, dating back to 1847.  The 77 foot steeple also contains a mechanical clock.  The original Candia burial ground is near this church.
