Notes

See the publication, Trinity Church Colborne Ontario 1966: A Brief History, p.9 "After careful planning and a great deal of discussion, the long talked-of Rectory was finally purchased, on May 30th 1884, from Mr. Robert Stewart. This brick house, situated on the corner of Division and North Streets, was bought by the ladies of the Trinity Church for the sum of $2000.00. In the fall of 1930, disaster struck the Parish. Fire broke out in the rectory and it was impossible to save the building or the Church records which were in it."
