Many people assume that the church is made from the same stone that the building is.
However, this is a common misconception. The stone that built the church is from an entirely different quarry, and the church was built at a different time. The Batchelder House was built in 1833 from huge blocks of granite. The stones are 17 inches thick and are entirely hand cut. Brought all the way from a granite quarry in Marlborough by horse-drawn sleighs and placed without the assistance of any heavy machinery, the building process must have been extremely difficult and time consuming.
