SUNDERLAND, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — $60,000 in Community Preservation Funds was allocated for roof and steeple repairs at the First Congregational church of Sunderland in 2023. Since then the iconic steeple has been scraped and repainted by a New Hampshire steeplejack company, Robert Morgan Co., and the roof repairs wrapped up in May of this year. Electrical and insulation work is ongoing at the church.
