St. Stephen's Episcopal Church
Consecrated 1855
— Steeple and Bell Tower preservation —
Built in 1853 - 1855 through Philadelphia architects Frazer, Furness & Hewitt in the Gothic Revival Style, St. Stephen's Episcopal Church was the tallest structure in the area at that time, where it's 220-foot steeple served as a landmark and navigational aid for ships traveling the Delaware River.
Consecrated by Bishop George W. Doane October 1, 1855, the newly constructed church began it's first bell ringing Christmas Eve, 1855. Soonafter, local Beverly Schools would sound the steeple bell to call children to classroom until the school district could purchase their own bell.
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church is listed with the National Registry of Historic Places January 15, 1999, and New Jersey Register of Historic Places July 7, 1999. Work continues to this day with active workship, community outreach and stewardship on spreading the word of the Lord.
