glass windows by Tiffany and by D. Maitland Armstrong.
These depict the 12 disciples along the side walls, the

The Present Chapel, built in 1901, is a plain meeting house

stained brown. The painting of the Transfiguration above the

work of Shepard Vogelgesang and his sister Zenaide Bradley.
Services have been continuous in this mission since 1895.

St. Matthew’s Chapel
Sugar Hill
Widely known as the most photographed church in New
England, St. Matthew’s is noted for its simple, dignified
architecture. The white-shingled exterior, set among fields of
lupine in June, or among brilliant foliage in autumn, hints
subtly at the character of the interior. The rustic beams and
trusses of the ceiling, tighter with the stained glass windows
depicting mountain scenes characteristic of the area. Three of
the four beautiful stained glass windows gracing the chapel
today came from a church in Cold Springs Harbor, New
York, where they had been given by the Cammann-Lipson
family.
The Chapel of St. Francis among the trees at Stone Pond,
Marlborough was built in 1926 by Mr. and Mrs. Francis
Kershaw, who lived in the large red house at the edge of the
pond. Mr. Kershaw designed the chapel from ‘peasant
chapels’ he had seen in Europe. It was constructed by Portuguese fishermen, builders from New Bedford who used a
combination of plaster and seaweed in constructing the
walls. In 1929 the bell was given, but not until 1979 was it
hung in a stone arch. A large carved wooden crucifix hangs
on the outside wall of the north side of the chapel, reminiscent of the wayside shrines on the mountains of Europe.
Located on Kershaw Ave. at Stone Pond.
Services: 9am Sun. from July through August
