Old English Style Architecture

Groton Congregational Church

image19

1902: This stone church is the congregation's fourth meeting house, the church having been founded in 1702, three years before Groton became a town separate from New London.  Members over the past three centuries have included most defenders of Fort Griswold, many sea captains and numerous Groton community leaders.

Six major contributors giving $1,000 each about 1902 help make this fine structure possible.  They were members Capt. Jason L. Randall, Thomas Avery Miner, William H. Miner and Frederic Bill; and philantropists John D. Rockefeller, who mother  was descended from the Groton Averys; and New  York City philanthropist Morton F. Plant who also had a summer mansion on the Groton shoreline.
