Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Historic St. Andrew’s Church located in the Four Corners area of
Hanover needs to restore its steeple. The original church built in
1811 was destroyed in a fire on Christmas night 1985. The rebuild
included the entire sanctuary as well as a new steeple. While the dome
is intact, the wooden structure is in need of repair. St. Andrew’s
has therefore launched the “Coins for Quoins” project. A quoin is
an architectural part of the corners. Typically made of masonry in
stone structures, the quoins on the St. Andrew’s steeple are made of
wood and there are 96 of them. To help raise funds for the repair, St.
Andrew’s is selling memorial quoins. Quoins in “Thanksgiving of”
or in “Memory of” maybe purchased for $50.00 each. A plaque listing
the honorees will be placed in the entrance of the church. Any gift is
welcome towards this project. Work is expected to begin at the end of
summer. At completion, there will be a blessing of the steeple to
which the public is invited. Please contact the office at 781-826-2062
or Rev. Elizabeth Wheatley Dyson at beth@standrewshanover.org
for further information or to participate in the Coins for Quoins
project.
