BEER BOTTLE ON TOP OF CHURCH FROM HAMPTON NH

first baptist church

It's going to be a beautiful day for "Children's Day" at Seacoast Harley-Davidson so get there early!

The two pictures above are of the first Baptist Church in Hampton Falls. The reason I split it into two pictures is so you can see the top of the steeple. Whets That! A beer bottle? Well there are a couple different versions of the story of why it's up there but this is the one I like. Frank Jones use to be the big brewing company in Portsmouth and the story goes that the church approached him for money to finish the steeple. He agreed but insisted that there be a beer bottle placed at the very top. If you would like to see it for yourself just head down route one to Hampton Falls and the Church will be on the right side when you get to the lights.
