Presbyterian Church in Westfield

Near this site stood the first permanent house of worship in Westfield, organized in 1728, built in 1735, known as the Presbyterian Church in Westfield.

The bell played an active part in the Revolution, being rung to warn the Patriots of the approach of the British. It was captured by the enemy and carried to Staten Island, but recovered after the war and now hangs in the belfry of the present church.

Marker is on 140 Mountain Avenue East.
