St. David's on the Hill Church (Episcopal)

On September 13, 1914, Hannah Clark held the first session of the Meshanticut Park Sunday School in her home on Cranston Street. Assisted by her sister-in-law Mrs. William Jepson, she taught her own five children, plus six others. From this humble, faith-filled beginning, grew St. David’s on-the-Hill. Originally a mission of All Saints’ Memorial Church, Providence, St. David’s was incorporated in 1921, became self-supporting in 1946 and was accepted as an independent parish in 1950.
