TRINITY ANGLICAN CHURCH (C. 1846) 76 KING STREET, COLBORNE CRAMAHE TOWNSHIP ONTARIO PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION: ADDRESS: 76 King Street East, Colborne, ON K0K 1S0 CONCESSION/LOT #: Concession 31, Lot 220 Reid Plan BUILT: 1846 DESIGN OR PHYSICAL VALUE: Trinity Anglican Church, 76 King Street, Colborne, Ontario, in the Northumberland county township of Cramahe, exhibits an early vernacular example of North American Gothic Revival architecture with its pitched roof, Gothic windows and massing central tower. Gothic Revival design operated as a symbol of the merging of spiritual and community life within the developing settlements of Upper Canada and early Ontario, and continues to do so today. Situated on the south side of the King's Highway number 2, the road that originally connected the settlements of Kingston and York, the white clapboard church has served as a landmark for both travelers and locals for over one hundred and sixtysix years, since its construction in 1846. Trinity Anglican Church represents an architectural style that is typical of church buildings of that period. It is of frame construction, rectangular, with a square tower topped by a short steeple. The chancel was added some years after the main building was erected and the grey-brick parish hall was added in 1910. The parish hall was constructed and furnished at a cost of $2,500 and a frame hallway was built to join the church to the parish hall building. Trinity is noted for its seven beautiful stained-glass windows: The Presentation in the Temple; the Ascension; The Good Shepherd; The first Easter; Our Lord and the Centurion; The Resurrection; and Mary Magdalene at the Tomb.
