spread of the population. an agita- ton began for the erection of meeting house in some more cen- tral location. But the people could not agree. At length appeal was made to the General Assembly to settle the difficulty and committee was raised to build a new meeting house in kensington. A tax was laid upon the inhabitants of Kensington to pay for the building which was finally erected on land purchased from Dean Thomas Hart. at the corner of Pennington road and Porter Pass and was completed in 17S3.
 Tn face of the situation arising from the spread of population, a division was decided upon and the New Britain parish was set off in 1754, the first church of New Brit ain being organized in 175s. This move was perfectly satisfactory to the portion of the original parish thus set off, but did not compose the feelings of the people in the sections that remained.
 Second Division of Parish
 "A long drawn out controversy ensued as to second division of Kensington Parish: the people were unable to agree as to dividing the parish on a north and south line or ya oet opI 1tnn other basis. Tn their dilemma they appealed to the Massachusetts colony. their request being signed by one hundred and thirty-seven men. A commission consisting of Col. Oliver Partridge of Hatfield Col. John Worthington of Spring. field and MT, EIdad Taylor of West. field was appointed to decide whether or not the society should be divided,
 ''The commission surveyed the parish and recommended division on a line running north and south the same boundary that obtains to- day. Tho West Society was to re- tain the name of Kensington and the Fact Society to be known a, Worthington In honor of the chair man of the commission. To avoit further trouble the commission ee lected the sites of two new meeting houses, one in Kensington and on' in Worthington.
