History of Westchester County, New York, Vol. I
It is circular, supported on a central octagonal stem, surrounded by four detached pil- I lars of white marble, and was presented by the sisters ' of the first rector of the parish. The seats areopenand entirely free of any charge for rent or use -- the church being supported by voluntary contributions at the i offertory. The organ, presented by a member of the 1 vestry, is situated at the west end of the nave. The i chancel, 20 feet by 16 feet, in the clear, is separated ' from the nave by the chancel arch. The choir is raised two steps above the nave and has two stalls on the south side. On the north it opens, by a door, into the sacristy. The sanctuary, elevated above the choir by two steps, is about 8 feet in depth, containing an altar 6 feet by three feet, on a foot pace, a credenceshelf on the south side and bishop's seat on the north. The chancel is lighted by a triplet of richly-stained glass, the middle lancet of which contains a cross within the Vesica piscis ; the south, a dove and font ; and the north, a paten and chalice. The rest of the glass (excepting the west end of the nave, which is richly grisailed, and the southern windows of the chancel, which have colored borders) is plain enameled. The whole of the stained glass was manufactured by Mr. John Bolton, of Pelham. Over the central lancet, in the chancel, and in the middle of the west gable, are triangular, trifoliated lights, with colored glass." Frank Wills, of New York, was the architect, and the cost of the entire edifice is put by Mr. Bolton as about five thousand dollars; but this is probably too small, as much labor and material were contributed by individuals which are probably not j included in the above estimate.
