Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, located in Newcastle, Maine, was dedicated in 1883 and is notable for its unique half-timber style, an architectural echo of 15th century England. Designed by renowned British architect Henry Vaughan, the church interior features an elaborate and rich decor, including a distinct barrel-vaulted chancel and an open timber roof, highlighted by specially crafted ornamentation and color schemes inspired by leading English design traditions.
The church reflects not only the craftsmanship of Vaughan, who undertook significant design elements himself, but also the foundational contributions of Captain William T. Glidden and his wife Katherine, who generously gifted both the land and the building. As a cornerstone in the community, St. Andrew's offers a rich history tied to the region's maritime legacy and architectural heritage, making it a gem of local interest.
