A replica of a historic piece of woodwork has been placed on St. Paul's Church in Charlottetown.

Holland College graduate Kelly Caseley created the replica after church officials found the original star — known as a finial — in the basement.

The church contacted Holland College's heritage retrofit carpentry program to see if it could restore the star. Caseley spent more than 100 hours building two replicas.

The original finial, believed to have once sat atop St. Paul's, will go on display inside the church.
