"One of the early burying grounds in the township of Maryborough was established by the congregation of Sr. James Anglican Church at the time they erected their first church on the northern outskirts of the village of Rothsay.
For many years St. James Cemetery has been unused. Today the many tombstones dating back to as early as the year 1858 have been placed in a cairn by the roadside as a fitting memorial to many of the brave and courageous men and women who settled in the area many years ago."
Saint James church, is a white brick building still standing ( 2018). it opened in 1885. it closed in 1950 and was sold to the United Church, which had outgrown it's quarters. About 2000, the Rothsay United Church also closed. Throughout it's cycle, St James church was linked with churches in Moorefield and Drayton.

Concession 14, Lot # 9, Maryborough Township, Wellington County Rd. # 10
