A Medfield Historical Minute...
This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis. A different "Medfield Historical Minute" will appear each day during the Crisis.
"The first Meetinghouse, located at the site of the current Unitarian Universalist Church on North Street next to Vine Brook, was believed to be 36' long and 20' wide and 12 ' high, with a thatched roof and to have faced the brook. It was probably as plain as was possible; devoid of ornament of any kind. Here was held the first town meetings, religious gatherings, etc., for the Town of Medfield. It had no chimney, as fires in meetinghouses were not at that time deemed essential for the comfort of the worshipers."
