Renovation Update - First Parish Meetinghouse, East Derry, New Hampshire

The steeple has been removed, and a cap is in place over the tower at the First Parish Meetinghouse in East Derry, New Hampshire.  This is the parish that was founded in April 1719 by Ulster Presbyterian minister Rev. James MacGregor.  The new steeple is taking place under the scaffolding, and there are hopes that it will be raised into place by the 300th anniversary coming soon!

Here is a photo of how the church steeple looked before the renovations...
