The Dune Church on Gin Lane in Southampton was moved onto new pilings last week 20 feet further inland from where the landmark church stood for the past 116 years. The church was moved off its old foundation last September and has since rested in the Agawam parking lot across Gin Lane. The church's new pilings are part of a $ 300,000 restoration project to protect the historic building from encroaching dunes.
