HISTORICAL NOTES ABOUT THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF MARSHFIELD
Our church was “gathered” in 1632, “the second Church of God that
issued out of the Church of Plymouth.” Five buildings have
existed. The first church was built in 1641 and was a small
building with a thatched roof near the Winslow Cemetery, on land
given for that purpose by William Thomas. The present church was
built in 1838 on the site used by the church since 1706. It was
dedicated on August 9, 1838 when the Reverend Seneca White, whose
portrait hangs in the vestibule, was installed as its first Pastor, the
tenth to serve the parish. On May 22, 1698, Captain Peregrine White, born on the Mayflower in
Cape Cod Bay in November 1620, was admitted to the membership in this
church. The famous statesman, Daniel Webster, attended this church during his
residence in Marshfield from 1832 to 1852. The pew which he
occupied is marked by a bronze tablet.
