MYSTIC
St. Alban’s Episcopal Church
Sussex, United States
Named for English martyr and saint. The parish was organized in 1842. The first church, 1844, stood at the southwest corner of God’s Acre. The first grave was there opened in that year. The edifice was dedicated by Bishop Jackson Kemper in 1866. The crenelated tower and bell were added in 1875. It is patterned after the village church in Peasmarsh, Sussex County, England, home church of some of the founders. Nowhere can be found a finer example of the English Gothic-styled parish church of the period. The guild hall was erected in 1904.<br><br> “We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, thy holy temple.” Psalms 65:4.
