      Statement of Significance

      This neo-Gothic church building, designed by Sophia Gray, was erected in 1865 on the remains of an earlier Settler church. The building was inaugurated in 1866 by Bishop Gray. The parsonage, which presumably dates from the 1840s, is an exceedingly beautiful Old Cape thatched cottage.
