Windymere

Built on the site of Ephriam Williams’ late 1730’s homestead stands the former residence of Rev. Henry Martyn Field. He attended Williams College and graduated in 1838 at the age of 16. A minister and a writer, Henry Field was best known for his books related to his world travels and for being the publisher and editor of The Evangelist for over four decades.

The home of Rev. Henry Field was called Windymere or Windermere, like the town in the English Lake District. This image of the house dates from the 1870’s.
