"The first introduction of the Episcopal Service into Plymouth was in 1755 when on the 6th of January, the Feast of Epiphany, The Rev. E. Thompson, under the auspices of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, held a service in what is now the Town House, and the High Sheriff, the Chief Magistrate, and about three hundred citizens attended. The next occasion of a service was about 1832, when the Rev. George W. Freeman - afterwards the Missionary Bishop of Arkansas and brother of Mr. Frederick Freeman who later became an Episcopalian but was, at the time, the minister of the Third Church, held a service and preached."

The next record is that of the lot on Russell Street: site of first Episcopal Church. This lot, 80 ft. X 200 ft. was originally granted by the town to Joshua Morse in 1711. Subsequent owners were: Laxarus LeBaron 1718, Isaac LeBaron, Nathanual LeBaron 1811, Nat C. Lanman 1842, Edmond Robbins 1845, Theodore Snow 1845 and sold by him to Christ Church in 1846 for $500.

The first Church was Consecrated by Bishop Eastburn on Tuesday, October 27th, 1847. Mr. Upjohn was the architect and the Church was erected at a cost of $4,000.

The list of Rectors of Christ Church will give some indications of the many and varying fortunes of the Parish between 1868 and 1911 when the first sod was turned for the New Christ Church on Court and Lothrop Streets. The cornerstone was laid on October 4th, 1912. The first service was held on Christmas Day 1914. This was in tile Rectorship of the Rev. Allen Jacobs.

The Rev. William Osmond was instrumental in securing the adjoining land to the original lot and the building of the stone wall around the front of the entire land. During the Rectorship of the late Rev. Dr. Edgar Jones the new Chancel and the present Parish Rooms were added.
