Mr. Kershaw designed the chapel from \u201cpeasant chapels\u201d he had seen in Europe. The bell was given in 1929, hung in a belfry and rung for daily services for some years; after the belfry had to be removed, it was installed in the present stone arch in 1979. A large carved wooden crucifix hangs on the outside wall of the north side of the chapel, reminiscent of the wayside shrines on the mountains of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Area attractions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhstateparks.org\/find-parks-trails\/monadnock-state-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monadnock State Park<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhstateparks.org\/find-parks-trails\/miller-state-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Miller State Park<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nae.usace.army.mil\/Missions\/Recreation\/Edward-MacDowell-Lake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">McDowell Lake and Dam<\/a> (public swimming and boat launch)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/explorekeene.org\/places\/biking\/cheshire-rail-trail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cheshire Rail Trail<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/harriscenter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Harris Center for Conservation Education<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theparktheatre.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Park Theater<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thecolonial.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Colonial Theater<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>P<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peterboroughplayers.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eterborough Players<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mariposamuseum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mariposa Museum<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monadnocklyceum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monadnock Summer Lyceum<\/a> (Sunday lectures)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/kimballfarm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kimball Farm<\/a> (homemade ice cream)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.friendlyfarm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Friendly Farm<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecaterpillarlab.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Caterpillar Lab<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MonadnockBerries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monadnock Berries<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monadnockmusic.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monadnock Music<\/a> (classical concerts around the area)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For more: <a href=\"https:\/\/discovermonadnock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DiscoverMonadnock.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image62_4f81ea-6c.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image62_4f81ea-6c .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:400px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image62_4f81ea-6c.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image62_4f81ea-6c .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image62_4f81ea-6c figure{max-width:400px;}.kb-image62_4f81ea-6c .image-is-svg, .kb-image62_4f81ea-6c .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image62_4f81ea-6c .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image62_4f81ea-6c\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/sandbox.necessarywords.com\/newhampshire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seasonal_oldstandrews.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sandbox.necessarywords.com\/newhampshire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seasonal_oldstandrews.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sandbox.necessarywords.com\/newhampshire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seasonal_oldstandrews-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/standrewsnl.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Old Saint Andrew\u2019s<\/a>, New London<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1766 King Hill Rd., New London<br><strong>Services:<\/strong> 8 a.m. from Father\u2019s Day through Labor Day<br><strong>Contact:<\/strong> 603-526-6344, <a href=\"mailto:office@standrewsnl.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">office@standrewsnl.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When railroads brought an influx of wealthy summer visitors to Lake Sunapee, Episcopal services in New London were held in a schoolhouse near the lake\u2019s eastern shore for 22 years.

The architecture and lych gate for carriages were inspired by English country churches. St. Andrew\u2019s takes an active role in its Seacoast community and beyond by being supporters of organizations focused on the needs of vulnerable children and families struggling with homelessness, hunger, domestic violence, and abuse.
