Baptist Church, Fisk Hill Baptist Church, Fisk Hill - An illustration of the church on Fiske Hill, Sturbridge, Mass., is given with a Plan of the pews as remembered by Mr. Manning Leonard. The building was raised June 3. 1784. Hon. George Davis in his Historical Sketch of Sturbridge" says: "On the southern declivity of this elevation was situated the neat and comfortable Baptist Church. Here those families (the Fiskes) with others of that denomination, in various parts of the town, worshiped more than half a century. The Rev. Zenas L. Leonard was the watchman on this watchtower. Mr. Leonard was in season and out of season in his devotion to the spiritual interests of his charge." In 1833, a new church was erected, nearer the center of the town and this building was subsequently demolished. The artist is somewhat inaccurate in the representation of the vestibule doors of which there were three, one in front and the others on each side, and next to the main building. From the vestibule two winding flights of stairs led to the broad gallery which extended around three sides of the audience room. The pew marked " Dea. INoyes." should be Dea. Lyon.
