Mr. F. L. Claflin, cashier of the National Bank, is authority that the bell was cast by Paul Revere. At the time the church was destroyed by a fire, the bell was recast again in 1892. This fact makes the bell doubly historical.
Not far from the church is the Spring Hill Burial Grounds. The fact that the church was located upon the Indian Planting Field, would be argument against burying the dead so near to the foe.
