St. James Episcopal Church (New London, Connecticut)
St. James was formed on June 6, 1725, and the first building, a wooden structure located on New London's Parade, was opened in 1732.
An arrow was shot into the gilt wooden ball at the top of the steeple by the chief of a visiting Native American delegation. The arrow hung there until the church's destruction in 1781. During the American Revolution, a number of the Parish members were loyalists. Services stopped between mid-1775 and the fall of 1778 since tensions were apparently high regarding the use of prayers for the King and Royal Family, and in 1778, the Parish voted "that no person be permitted to...act as a pastor...unless he openly prays for Congress..." The church was destroyed by a fire set in New London on September 6, 1781 during the Battle of Groton Heights. British forces in New London during that engagement were under the command of Brigadier General Benedict Arnold, a native of nearby Norwich.
