Western Salisbury Church, founded in 1741, was the first place of worship in Salisbury Township and was erected by the Lutheran and Reformed settlers of the area. The present stone edifice, the third building, dates to 1819. Originally called “Schmaltzgass (or “lard valley”) and now called Jerusalem, this church continues its ministries as a union church, with two congregations, Lutheran and United Church of Christ, in a “Shared Ministry.” ]]>

"The small brick Gothic Revival church on the northwest corner of Franklin and N.Third Streets was erected in 1869 on land donated to the Methodist Church of St.Charles by Henry F.Copes, who had inherited the parcel from a relative, Mane Louise Duquette, Francois' widow. Known as the "Working Men's Chapel", the church was intended to serve the numerous laborers who had settled in Frenchtown for the construction of the railroad bridge. Upon completion of the bridge, declining membership forced the sale of the building in 1871 to the Franklin Street Baptist Church. However, since 1891, (and perhaps earlier) a black congregation has been worshiping in the church."]]>

St. Leonard's Church
[Info] [GM] [LM] [YM]
By: kkeps
@ 2008-12-18 09:47:43
The church of St. Leonard is situated on the north side of the main Coventry-Northampton road, on a level site in the centre of a large, recently extended, churchyard. It consists of chancel, nave, west tower, vestry, and a south porch. It was built of red sandstone rubble with worked dressings late in the 11th century, probably consisting of a chancel and nave, and it was apparently not until the 15th century that a west tower was added. A vestry with a gallery over was added in the 19th century, and more recently the south porch was rebuilt. The tower is a lofty and imposing structure, out of proportion to so small a church, and the presence of angle buttresses on its east side, which make a very awkward junction with the nave, suggests that it was intended to rebuild the body of the church on a similar scale. All the roofs are covered with modern tiles. There are eight bells in the medieval tower which are rung twice a month for the 9.30 a.m. service, plus weddings and occasional other special events.]]>

The church is an early 14th century building with a tower and spire, something not often seen on Cornish churches. The spire was added in the 15th century. The tower contains five bells. The clock on the tower was given in 1907 by General Jago Trelawny after a serious illness. In the church is the earliest known brass in the county. It is an inscription to Sir Ralph Carmynow who died in 1386. The church was much restored in the 1860's. The lychgate is a memorial to Jane Darell Jago, erected by her sister and brothers in 1899. In the churchyard is the tomb of a John Richards Lapenotiere who was the Captain of HMS Pickle at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. It was he who brought home to England the news of the Royal Navy's success at Trafalgar and the death of Vice Admiral Lord Nelson. He came to live in Menheniot after he retired from the Royal Navy. He is buried with his wife, Mary Ann and their young son Thomas. The tomb was restored as part of the Trafalgar celebrations in 2005.]]>

When the First Methodist Episcopal Church opened in June 1892, the Ypsilantian called it "an ornament to the city." The church typifies Akron Plan churches, popular among late nineteenth century Protestants. The Akron architectural firm of Weary and Kramer designed the seating in arcs to give each person a full view of the minister. Washtenaw County Methodism dates from 1825 when itinerant minister Reverend Elias Pattee organized a class in the nearby settlement of Wooodruff's Grove. Pattee served the Huron circuit, which extended from Detroit west to present-day Jackson. This church building is the third to serve the congregation. ]]>

Old Stone Church
[Info] [GM] [LM] [YM]
By: kkeps
@ 2008-12-17 09:51:58
Modest in appearance, the elegant simplicity of the church's stonework testifies to the skill of the Scottish stone masons who constructed it. In the 1830s Glengarrians from Islay, Scotland settled on the eastern side of Lake Simcoe, Ontario. Their first church was of logs but by 1840 they embarked on building this new church, now known as the Old Stone Church. Disruptions in the Church of Scotland to which the congregation was affiliated led to a split amongst members. Debate over the merits of joining the Free Church of Scotland resulted in the construction of a newer St Andrews which was built in nearby Beaverton to the west. Resolution of a further split in 1927 involved the provincial legislature which passed the "Beaverton Presbyterian Church Act" that year. The Old Stone Church remained in use for a limited number of services which is true to this day. The building was designated a National Historic Site in 1991 owing to its architectural merit. It is a gracious example of the few early stone vernacular churches surviving in Canada. It is also recognized by the Province of Ontario and the municipality, the Township of Brock. ]]>

The churchyard was consecrated in 1901,prior to this date the dead of the parish would have been carried by pack horse across Burnmoor to the village of Boot for burial.
