Fall Feast Organized To Benefit St. Martin’s Church BERLIN – The Fall Feast of St. Martin, a time to celebrate nature’s bounty at the end of the agrarian year, will be held on the grounds of historic St. Martin’s Church on Friday, Nov. 1. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and features local foods from land and sea, wines and spirits and live music. A tent for the festivities will be erected under the towering trees on the property and next to the 18th-century building. Jazz musician Dave Hollister will entertain. The church will be open so visitors can see the progress being made in the continuing preservation and restoration both on the interior and exterior of the building. The Worcester County Garden Club will decorate the church in the style of the period. The church is located at 11413 Worcester Hwy. Construction on the brick building was begun in 1756 and finished in 1763, three years before the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The brick exterior still appears today much as it did when construction was completed. Records from 1703 indicate there was an earlier frame building, a chapel of ease, at this location. St. Martin’s Church is listed on The National Register of Historic Places. Attendance at St. Martin’s gradually decreased and, after St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Berlin was built, the church ceased having regular services and finally closed. Over the decades, the building fell into disrepair. In 1993, the St. Martin’s Church Foundation was established to preserve and restore the structure. Today, the 257-yearold edifice stands to serve visitors and residents in educational programs, music, arts, living history and as a venue for historic weddings and receptions. During October, tickets are being sold for a sterling silver and black diamond pendant called “The Key to St. Martin’s,” an exact replica of the HERE’S MY CARD CARPET CLEANING AUTO WAINWRIGHT’S TIRE CENTER INC.
