Lewes Visit Notes and St Peters Church Dedication
Reports from Lewes July events describe a quieter season with fewer visitors since the St Nicholas steamer ceased tri weekly trips. The dedication of St Peters Protestant Episcopal church is noted with Bishop Lee delivering an excellent sermon and Holy Orders conferred on Rev. Thomas M. Martin. Details cover church architecture by Samuel Sloan Philadelphia, interior work by John R. Barton Lewes, and brickwork by Eli Torbert, seating 700 at about 6000 dollars. Also recalled are local inscriptions and memorials, plus commentary on town life, mosquitos, Breakwater boating, and a boat service to Philadelphia.
