Church History :

The Church of the Holy Name was organized in 1891. Charles Henry Joy gave the land for the church building. Shortly after he died, his widow, Marie Louise Joy, built the church as a memorial to her husband and to her father, Enoch Redington Mudge. The church was designed by Henry Vaughan, architect of the National Cathedral, and finished in 1893. Remick Hall was added in 1900. The Rectory adjoining the church was built in 1907. Barrett Hall was added on as an educational wing in 1957. In its 107 years the church has had nine Rectors.
