Records of the Church of the Ascension, Cranston, R.I. (Mss. Gr. 216)

Historical Information

The records contained herein document the history and the administrative, religious, and financial activities of the Church of the Ascension from its founding in 1885. Administrative records, with the exception of the vestry, are scattered for the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries but comprehensive from the 1920's forward. Records documenting religious activities, i.e., Parish Registers and Registers of Church Services, apparently are lost for the first twenty-five years of the church's existence. The records in this collection are the inactive records of the parish.
