About
The original church was constructed in 1850-51 by William Tyrell, a well-known local builder. In 1856, transepts and a chancel were added. The parsonage was relocated by 1884. In 1878, a school room was also added. In 1882, the church purchased a new Casavant organ. While the original church burned down in 1921, it was reconstructed to replicate the original.

City of Vaughan
With a population of more than 340,000 residents, Vaughan is one of the fastest growing communities in Canada, home to more than 217 ethnic or cultural origins with 113 different languages spoken. It is a vibrant, diverse, inclusive and equity-based community that recognizes and celebrates arts, culture and heritage.
We recognize that Vaughan is situated in the Territory and Treaty 13 lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also recognize the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. The City of Vaughan is currently home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit people today. As representatives of the people of the City of Vaughan, we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and live in this territory.
This event is part of a hub:
