New Meeting House

"At a meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants of the town of Salisbury at our West Meeting house in said town, Jan. 18, 1785," it was voted not to repair the "West meeting house." "A large committee, consisting of persons from the various parts of the town" was appointed to consider the expedience of building a new meeting house in the west end of the town. Feb. 3 it was voted "not best to build where the old one now stands," but "on the parsonage land to the Westward of the parsonage house near Rocky Hill." "At a subsequent meeting of the town, it was voted, to set the new meeting house at the Eastward of the Parsonage house instead of the Westward, as voted above. The meeting house was accordingly built and is in that part of the town which is now the West Parish." SOURCE: The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, David W. Hoyt, Vol. I, 1897; pages 475-476
