Between Richard R Graham and H. Newman Lawrence you find that you have traveled 52 stepping stones. Look for the path to the Old Narragansett Church to begin your journey.
This cache is our first so we wanted a scenic yet secluded spot. Enjoy and remember to sign the book!
One of the most interesting buildings in Wickford, Rhode Island, and certainly the most famous, is the Old Narragansett Church, known as St. Paul's in Narragansett. Originally, the parish boundaries included the whole of the Narragansett Country. Among the early settlers of this region were a number with leanings toward the Church of England, and from time to time Episcopal services were held in this section.
There is a story which, like many old Rhode Island legends, is belied by the records; nevertheless, it is too interesting to omit. According to the story, there was a quarrel between the northern and the southern parts of the Parish for the possession of the old church building. The inhabitants of the northern section, being the best schemers and the more energetic, rounded up 24 yoke of cattle on a clear night in January 1880, when the ground was covered with a heavily crusted snow, and with the aid of some stout timbers used as runners, hauled the church down hill to Wickford. Thus the Wickford element stole the church from the South Kingston people and settled the question forever.
