- Description
- This photograph was taken by a member of the Biggar family, unfortunately undated but sometime between 1910 and 1960. This is the brick building erected in 1898. The photograph is prior to the widening of Dundas in the mid-1970s which saw the church physically moved; this building is in the original spot on the church property. The drive shed is visible behind.
The church was also called "Parsonage Church" from about 1845 to 1885 when the Munn's name was again used. The Methodist congregation joined with the United Church banner in the 1920s.
The house visible to the east along Dundas is likely 41 Dundas Street East. The patent for Lot 15 Concession 1 NDS was granted to John Robinson in 1804. He sold off several parcels over the next years but Daniel Munn acquired the entire Lot by 1820, In 1841, Daniel's estate sold the south half to Jordan Munn. John Hastings bought a parcel from Jordan in 1862, William Perkins was the next owner. - Notes
- A link to the official website of the church is provided here for your further information. The congregation has prepared an excellent "history of the church" page.
The second link to the "Building Stories" page for the church is worth a look as information as to the construction and land maps are also included. You can see the church cemetery across Dundas Street in the 2016 Google map.
The third link is to the Trafalgar Township Historical Society record about the house showing on the property to the east of the church - likely 41 Dundas Street. - Subject(s)
