Originally stood on this site. This cairn marks the vestibule and bell tower.The land was purchased by "Toronto Diocese" on March 18, 1876 from Mr Obidiah Stafford. The first
church was an unheated framd building. In 1897, a second church was built on the same site.
It was brick clad, seating about 75 persons. The first Rector was the Rev John Burkitt.

Services and parish activities continued intermittently untyil 1952, when it was decided to hold only annual services. When the church was closed, its members joined with nearby Wycliffe Church, Elmvale, making a substantial contribution in time and energy.
