St. Margaret's Episcopal Church opened in 1915 and served as a "summer chapel" until 1930. Named for Margaret of Antioch, scenes from her life are depicted in the stained glass window facing the organ. The two small windows nearby show Margaret's coat of arms (left) and the victor's crown, palm leaves, and cross of Faith (right). The chancel windows depict the Crucifixion (left), the Resurrection (right), and Christ "crowned and triumphant" (center). The side panels show the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. Most of the stained glass windows were installed between 1922 and 1928 after the church was built. All of the windows listed were made in the studios of James Powell & Sons (Whitefriars) Ltd. of London. The same company produced the windows for the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NYC, and many English churches, cathedrals and colleges.

Our church was designed by Russell W. Porter of Boston, who based it on a 13th century English country church. However, the roof is so steep, the naves so low, and the side windows so small, that it has some characteristics of a pre-Norman Conquest Saxon church. The architect is known to have designed several summer cottages in the Port Clyde area, but St. Margaret's seems to have been the only church.

We invite you to become a part of the church today and a piece of its history tomorrow.
