History:
This church was first organized in 1840 and property was purchased in 1842 from George Curry, being the westerly half of Lot 11 Concession 4 consisting of four acres. The price paid was seven pounds ten shillings, “to be used by the Established Church of England for a Church and Burial Grounds”. The first minister was the Reverend George Graham.
In 1844, a small frame building was erected with the present stone building being built in 1870. The area was administered by the Anglican Diocese of Toronto until 1875 when the Anglican Diocese of Niagara was established. The building was almost destroyed in 1913 by a windstorm.
The oldest monuments recorded are for the year 1849.
Burial records have been checked for 1871-1983. No burial records are available prior to these dates.
