  This Church, and the Town House to the left, were built in 1860 in the wake of the 1859 fire that destroyed the Second Meetinghouse. After the passage of the Toleration Act of 1819, towns no longer supported an established church, thus the new church building ceded its role as a civic meeting place. Parishioners raised reconstruction funds privately by selling pews. The Rev. A. A. Livermore preached the dedication ceremony in January 1861. The c. 1808 horse sheds, which had survived the fire, were dismantled and relocation in the 1990s; the addition in the rear dates from 1924.From 1885 to 1897, the church shared its ministers with the East Wilton Liberal Christian Church, after which it joined the Unitarian Association of Boston, later to become the Unitarian Universalist Association, the congregation's present day affiliation.
