 “The Triassic beds include brown, red, pink, gray, and greenish sandstone, and conglomerate with white quartz pebbles up to one inch in diameter. In some places these must occur close together for in Churchtown the Caernarvon Academy (1854) contains all of these. Perhaps the material was float or field stone and was not quarried. [This academy was demolished.]
The modern Methodist Episcopal Church in Churchtown [today’s United Methodist Church near this Bangor Episcopal Church] is all one tone brownstone in squared blocks… Perhaps this stone came from the red beds just north of the village.”
