Founded by Rev. William Creighton in 1839, St. Mary's congregation
originally met in a small one-room school house on the corner of Sleepy
Hollow Road and Albany Post Road. At the time, the congregation was
known as St. Mary's Beechwood.
After returning from his honeymoon trip to Scarborough, Yorkshire, his
assistant, Rev. Edward Mead, convinced Rev. Creighton to build a church
modeled after the thirteenth-century Scarborough Parish Church.
The new St. Mary's Church of Scarborough, funded largely by Rev.
Creighton, was built of native granite by local stone masons and
completed in 1851.
The church features the only complete set of stained glass windows by
renowned artist John Jay Bolton. Along with his brother William, The
Bolton brothers were considered to be the only serious stained glass
artists in the United States at the time.
