Spurwink Church

The meeting house was erected in 1802 by the inhabitants of the southern part of Cape Elizabeth who were determined to have their own church.

The Meeting House has been renovated several times, that we know about, major changes being in 1834 and 1895. At the earlier date a belfry was added and a vane that cost $40. In 1895 or '96 the present chandelier (purchased second hand) was installed. It has now been restored to its original beauty and electrified--far safer than when it used kerosene, and is certainly the focal point of the interior. The organ in use now was built before 1890 and donated in 1922 by Ida Brown.
