Sanctuary Virtual Tour

Outside, placed in the wall of the Portico are three Gravestones, removed from
other sites. They memorialize sea captain and church founder John Alden (son
of John and Priscilla Alden of Plymouth); founder Joshua Scottow; and Ann Quinsey,
a 13-year-old niece of founder John Hull, minter of the Pine Tree shilling, the first
American coin.

Adjacent to these tablets there is a Plaque commemorating the
congregation’s start in 1669. Viewed from the sidewalk, above the Portico roof, you
can see a Plaque recording those years in which services began in the three church
buildings: 1670, 1730, 1875. ("Qui transtulit sustinet" is Latin for "He Who Transplanted Still Sustains.") Inscribed above the Portico arches are the welcoming words “Behold, I Set Before Thee An Open Door.”
