Medieval Fonts: First Congregational Church
The next medieval font of Middletown comes from the 1871 First Congregational Church. An inscription on the cornice over the main portal announces the parish's 17th-century heritage and its 19th-century building foundation, "1652 First Congregational Church 1871." I sketched a detail of "Church" above. The script is Gothic blackletter and appropriate to the ecclesiastical subject.
