Newport Baptist Church
Newport, Cumberland County
.jpg)
The baptist congregation in Newport was organized in 1852 and this interesting buuilding was erected sometime later, although there is a plaque saying there was a rebuilding in 1902. Until I learn otherwise, I am going to pretend that much of the church dates to the nineteenth century, as I'd hate to dismiss such an interesting building from this website on a technicality. The tower is certainly unusual, but the other elements are all commonly found in Jersey churches.
