James Wetmore, his successor, informs the same, " that at North Castle, a new settlement in the woods, there are more than forty families, most of which are unbaptized, and that he preaches there every fifth Sunday." For a number of years North Castle was destitute of religious privileges, until the Rev. Robert Harris, D. D., revived the cause.

The present church, St. Stephens, was organized on the 10th of Octeber, 1842, in a log cabin, at Mile Square (as the village was then called), and a church edifice erected, at a cost of $2,000, and was consecrated September 13, 1843. The rectory was built in 1870, on ground presented by William R. Carr, Esq., at a cost of $4,000.
