History of St. Paul’s Anglican Church

According to the Uxbridge Walking Tour Brochure the English Episcopal Church was built in 1834 (shown below) on Toronto Street. As the community grew so did the congregation. The old wooden building was torn down and in July 1887 the corner stone was laid for the new church. In 1888 the new St. Paul’s Anglican Church was officially opened with the tower being added one year later. The church was built in a traditional Anglican form, which is typically designed with a cross shape, with a long nave leading up to a transept that crosses the nave, forming a cross. The altar is usually located at the eastern end of the nave, with the choir and chancel surrounding it.
