- Notes
- Old St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church is the oldest church still standing in the village or the township. It was built in 1830 from limestone quarried at Lakeport, west of Ontario St. The land was been donated by Joseph Abbott Keeler, the founder of the villages of Colborne and Castleton and the son of the first settler. Archibald Fraser designed the structure and supervised the building. It began in 1830 and was completed in 1833. The congregation however predated the building by many years. A fire in 1895 destroyed the interior, but not the limestone exterior. In 1911 the Sunday school at the North end and the belfry were added and little else has changed since then except the addition of the two memorial stained glass windows.
