Located on one of the loveliest sites in the village of St.
George, stands a modest white church. It stands as a testament
to those people in the village who wished to worship according
to the Anglican rite.
After three unsuccessful attempts had been made to found an Anglican Church in the village without success, finally in 1954 a group led by Canon Appleyard of Grace Church, Brantford was successful. In September of that year Archdeacon Mills and the Rev. Grant Darling met with twelve people in the recreation room in the home of Mrs. Art Leppard on High Street. They agreed to form a new church. At the next meeting a name was chosen. Wishing to avoid a saint's name, which might sound confusing when linked with St. George, they chose the name Holy Trinity. Rev. Grant Darling was to include responsibilities for the new parish with his responsibilities for the parishes of St. Mark's, Fairview and St. David's, Cainsville. Until a church could be built, services and other church functions were held in a rented classroom in the public school. During the first few months a choir was formed, a Sunday School was organized and a Ladies' Guild was begun. By November of that year sufficient money had been raised to purchase property on the brow of the hill overlooking the village. A year later the Right Rev. G. N. Luxton, Bishop of Huron laid the cornerstone. |
