Historical Context
"In 1852 land was given by John Somes and the church was built at its present location at a cost of about $2,500. The Sewing Circle, organized at this time, raised $300 and sent Rebecca Somes to Boston to buy the steeple bell, which pealed its first summons in 1858, and the “voice of the Meeting House” still rings each Sunday morning" ("Our History 1852-2020: Over 150 Years of Ministry" at Somesville Union Meeting House [ https://www.sumhucc.org/history : accessed 18 August 2025[).
