The left of the cemetery entry pillars
The left of the cemetery entry pillars
Din Montrowl asked me to explain why there are missing sections of the church fence. It was considered a hazard, as the side towards Garcia's and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Alley's has been in disrepair for some time. There are plans to replace the fence this fall, along with other repairs to the building itself.
For anyone who is interested in the history of the fence, it is a remarkably unique design. I don't know who designed or built the original, but it was in photographs taken after the church was moved in the 1860s from the knoll to the left of the cemetery entry pillars to its current setting. Onslow Robinson and Dan'l Manter both rebuilt it at different times over the years. My husband replaced the side with the curve along [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Music Street about 20 years ago, when Mike Black was painting it and discovered rotten wood. The new section is cedar rather than pine, and except for the old posts, still looks pretty good. It's such an iconic structure in our town center, as is the church building. I hope both will be restored to serve for some time to come.
Writing the above, I had help and information from my husband, from Bill Haynes, and from Harry Athearn. As my fellow West Tisbury columnist and town historian, John Alley, was serving in his other role as postman when I called, I hope he will fill in the gaps in my history in his Gazette column next week. In advance, thank you, John.Town Clerk Tara Whiting wants to remind everyone who is planning to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] run for office in the April town elections that nomination papers must be filled out and returned to her office by 5 pm today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Feb. 24.The West Tisbury Library will host its monthly Friday afternoon concert by the J.C.
