Old church


In 1695 settlers acquired land for a cemetery at West Broad and Wood streets and in 1702 the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts sent to missionaries to New Jersey. One of them, John Talbot, became rector of St. Mary's Church (built in 1703) in 1705.[3][4] It thus became the oldest Episcopal congregation in New Jersey.


As the congregation grew, parishioners decided to build a new church and commissioned Richard Upjohn to design it. In 1846, construction began on adjoining land at 145 West Broad Street. It was consecrated in 1854.



New church


New St. Mary's Church was constructed between 1846 and 1854. It is one of the earliest attempts in the United States to "follow a specific English medieval church model for which measured drawings existed." This Gothic Revival-style church was designed by Richard Upjohn, who modeled it after St. John's Church in Shottesbrooke, England. It helped firmly establish Upjohn as a practitioner of Gothic design.[1][5] It is a massive brownstone church with a long nave. The crossing is topped by a tall stone spire that has eight bells cast in England by Thomas Mears II at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1865.[6] The church was designated a National Historic Landmark.

Daylamites

Map showing Daylam in western Tabaristan. The Daylamites or Dailamites (Middle Persian: Daylamīgān ; Persian: دیلمیان ‎ Deylamiyān ) were an Iranian people inhabiting the Daylam—the mountainous regions of northern Iran on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. [1] They were employed as soldiers from the time of the Sasanian Empire, and long resisted the Muslim conquest of Persia and subsequent Islamization. In the 930s, the Daylamite Buyid dynasty emerged and managed to gain control over much of modern-day Iran, which it held until the coming of the Seljuq Turks in the mid-11th century.
