This is a fair Church, built with Brick, and so is the Steeple: With Galleries round. That on the North was built chiefly by Capt. Thomas Brian of Wappin Wall. That on the South was erected and built at the Charge of the Inhabitants Anno Dom. 1683. Upon the West Gallery is writ, This Church was repaired at the Parish Charge 1691. The same Date is upon the fair Portal West. There is the Date of An. 1656, on the North Door; when, I suppose, the Church was built.
