Trinity Chapel at Kennebunk Beach Update
Benjamin Brewster became Episcopal Biship of Maine in 1916. That was the same year that Fanny Darrach deeded Trinity Chapel at Kennebunk Beach to the Diocese. I had not found a record of the chapel being consecrated but while working on tonight’s lecture on the history of Saint Ann’s and Kennebunk Point, I came across these photographs in Saint Ann’s archive. A report in the Kennebec Journal on August 17, 1916 reads, “Trinity Episcopal church at Kennebunk Beach was dedicated Tuesday morning by Biship Benjamin Brewster of the Maine Diocese, assisted by Rev. A.H. Ottman of St. Ann’s Episcopal Church, Kennebunkport.” See my THROWBACK from 2021 to read the full history of the Trinity Chapel.
