Corpus Christi Church, 8 Jarves St.

Corpus Christi Church, now the Belfry Inn, was built in 1901. The Church was built in 1901 to replace the St. Peter's Church that was destroyed in a storm in 1898. To begin glass operations, Deming Jarves relocated about 60 skilled workers and their families from Cambridge, MA. They were all Irish and Catholics, a group never seen before in Sandwich. This was a major social change brought about by the B&S operations. By 1830, the Catholics built their own chapel which sat very near the factory. Many of the items in the church are from the original St Peter's including some of the stained glass windows. It is now a fine restaurant and inn owned by Chris Wilson.
