History of Westchester County, New York, Vol. I
The tone of the walls and woodwork is, however, much lighter than in the foi'mer building, while the stained glass is but a parody upon the beautiful chancel windows of the old church. The font has been almost exactly restored, and stands just outside of the chancel, on the right. The new furniture, consisting of altar, chancel-chair, double stall, reading desk, pulpit and brass lectern, is quite different in style from that which it replaces,but is handsome,and harmonizes well with the surroundings. It is the gift of friends of the parish, in memory of Mrs. Valeria Baugess, a former parishioner, whose remains lie in the little churchyard. Other gifts include a full set of lesson-books, and pulpit-lamp, altar-cover, altar-vases and almsbasin, all in brass. The organ, -- of one manual, -- from the shops of Hood & Hastings, Boston, is very prettily decorated, and was purchased with the insurance money of the former organ, occujjying the same position, -- at the western end of the nave. The chapel is nearly an exact counterpart of the one it replaces.
Belonging to the church is a commodious rectorj', situated on a pleasant spot nearly due north of the church, and about five minutes' walk from it.
