History Biographical:

The Anglican Church of the Redeemer (Rosseau, Ont.) is part of the multi-point parish of St. Stephen’s Anglican Parish (Rosseau, Ont.).

One of the earliest Anglican churches in Muskoka, the Church of the Redeemer was built by its first minister, Dr. Newton. A vestry meeting was held on March 27, 1871 to arrange a site for the Church of the Redeemer, this meeting was presided over by Dr. Newton. A lot for the church was donated by W.H. Pratt, a local Anglican and proprietor of 'Rosseau House'. The church was finished late September 1873.

In the early years no long-term incumbent could be assigned to the area, either because insufficient funds or that no one was available. Until a long-term Rev. Chowne arrived in 1880, the community was served by the visiting Rev. William Crompton and various Lay Readers.

The church accepted Ebenezer Sirett’s gift of a 2 acre lot for the cemetery on March 26, 1883. The cemetery was not consecrated until October 30, 1897.

A new rectory was proposed in 1892 and finished sometime a year later. The old rectory property was sold in 1893. Soon after, the church started planning the installment of a new foundation. The work for this began in 1895 along with other renovations and additions, among which was the chancel finished in 1896. This chancel was consecrated on October 29, 1897. Small renovations of varying sorts were done until the next project of the bell tower. This was finished construction in 1905.

Incumbents and rectors who have served the Church of the Redeemer include: Dr. Newton (1871-1874), Rev. Mr. Chowne (1880-1890), Archdeacon Gowan Gilmor (1891-1907), Canon Frost (1907-1918), Rev. William Hankinson (1918-1928), Rev. J. Norman (1928-1929), Canon W.F. Swainson (1929-1952), Rev. Reginald Inshaw (1953-1956), Rev. R.G. Charles (1959-1982), Rev. Robert Davies (1983-?).

History Biographical:

Christ Church (Windermere, Ont.) was begun in 1889 when the Rev. Charles Mockridge, rector of Christ Church Cathedral in Hamilton, gathered interested people for Sunday service on the porch of his cottage. Later services were held in the local Mechanics Hall until in 1900 land for a church was purchased at a cost of $25. A small cottage was later provided by the Ladies' Guild to house summer incumbents. Mockridge and his four sons helped Charles Cox, the builder, construct the church. The building was completed in 1904.

History Biographical:

Originally part of the parish of Rousseau, there is some debate about the founding date of the Christ Church at Cardwell Anglican records indicate that it was built in 1891 on a lot given by John Foreman, but many local families recall the construction occurring in 1880. Locally, the church was known as the Bear Cave Church.

For many years this small log church on Bear Cave Road was used regularly but by 1981 only one service a year was held at the church.

In the tradition of pioneer kinship the doors, at the Bear Cove, North Cardwell church, were never locked and the building remained open for those who wished to enter for shelter or spiritual reasons. In the mid 1980s the church fell victim to a number of thefts which saw the oil lamps, stove, pews, and organ being lost.

History Biographical:

Around 1870 the Haines, a pioneer family, came to Parry Sound Ontario from Charlesville, Ireland. Misses Charlotte and Dora Haines held the first Anglican Sunday School of the area in a small school house on Christie Road. Regular church meetings were held in the school house from June 16, 1902 until 1904. In 1902, land in the Township of Foley was deeded to the Diocese of Algoma. The Reverend G. E. Chilcott, of Parry Sound enthusiastically proposed the erection of a church on this property. With volunteers, material from the Peters Lumber Co., and donations of money from the area, and from England and Ireland, the project began. The new edifice was an unpainted wooden structure, capable of seating 120 people. It was named St. Thomas' after the church in Ireland where the Haines family had been baptized and confirmed. The church was opened May 8, 1904, and consecrated in 1905. Over the years support dwindled, and the mission was closed from August 22, 1915, till June 17, 1917, with periodic services thereafter. The last recorded service was October 20, 1929.

In Orrville, well-attended Anglican services had been held in the Christie Township Hall, and in people's homes, since the 1890's. The parish at that time was known as Christ Church. The Reverend T. O. Curliss and the Reverend Joseph Waring were two of its priests. Other clergy providing services were: the Reverend Lawrence Sinclair a Cowley Father from Bracebridge, the Reverend Richard K. Bamber from Emsdale, and Lawrence Sinclair; who would walk the circuit from Huntsville to Utterson, Rosseau, Orrville, Broadbent, Seguin Falls, Bear Lake, Sprucedale, Emsdale and back to Huntsville. The Anglicans in Orrville had hopes for their own church. Land was deeded to Algoma Diocese on November 6, 1934, by Mrs. Catherine (Cassie) Magee for the consideration of $1.00. A group discussed using this land to relocate the now vacant Haines Lake Church “St. Thomas'” to Orrville, a distance of 13.5 kilometres, Township Hall was also considered. In the fall and winter of 1934-1935 the Haines Lake Church was dismantled and moved in sections by truck, and a horse-drawn sleigh. The pieces of the church were reassembled on the land deeded by Mrs. Magee and was completed in 1936. The original name of St. Thomas was retained, with the first service at the new location being held on Palm Sunday March 21, 1937. On August 7, 1937 St. Thomas' was consecrated by the Right Reverend Rocksborough Remington-Smith, the fourth Bishop of Algoma, with the Reverend Richard K. Bamber as the Incumbent. As the service began, Mr. Bamber selected Albert Healey as the Rector's Warden, and Joseph Hannon, Jr., as the People's Warden, positions they held for many years without election.

Furnishings from the Haines Lake Church were also transferred, including over 100 chairs, the font, stand, and the original organ. The church was heated with wood stoves until 1954, when a partial basement was excavated an oil furnace installed, and the church wired for electricity. Additional furnishings came to St. Thomas' from various churches, as they were closed in the surrounding areas. In 1959, through arrangements made by Archdeacon Peto, a bell, weighing 500 pounds, was transferred from Sprucedale to Orrville. This bell was originally in the Anglican Church in Depot Harbour, and it could be heard in Parry Sound six miles away. The rectory was built in 1966, with volunteer help, and was used for its original purpose for a few years. By May, 1971, the debt on the rectory was paid in full. It was later rented to various families to offset its expenses.

From 1937-1951, St. Thomas' was ministered to by: the Reverend Richard K. Bamber, the Reverend C. Simpson, the Reverend A. P. Scott, the Reverend E. C. Boyer, the Reverend C. Darlington, the Reverend A. Haldenby, and the student-in-charge, R. Inshaw. Several other summer students from theological colleges served over this period including: Guy Marston, Norman Pilcher, Arthur Brown, Lyndon Barclay, Stephen Gilbert, Hector Belton, Jim Jackson and Arthur Chabot. The latter student, on occasion, walked to St. Paul's, a distance of nine miles. Between 1951-1953, St. Thomas' became an official part of the Emsdale-Sprucedale Mission, under the student-in-charge, R. Inshaw. In 1953, Mr. Inshaw became the incumbent of the Rosseau Parish, at which time St. Thomas' joined this Parish and began to enjoy weekly services. An Altar Guild was formed in 1955 and a W.A. group began in 1957.

From 1955-1959, efforts were made to continue services without an Incumbent in Rosseau on a permanent basis. The Reverend J. S. Ditchburn, Archdeacon Cyril Peto, Archdeacon John B. Lindsell, Sister Theadora and Miss Gwladys Davis were assisted by lay people and summer students; Donald M. Landon, and William Moore.

Under the ministry of the Reverend Robert G. Charles, between 1959-1982 St. Thomas' experienced sustained continuity in its services. In the early 1960's, summer students Ian Nichols, Ken Gibbs and Rod Brazil assisted Mr. Charles. From January to May, 1983 the Church was closed. The Reverend Robert Davies was appointed to the Parish. With the addition of new families to the area, a small choir and Sunday School were organized February, 1984. In September 1985 it was unanimously decided that a new church building should be considered instead of repairing the existing one.

On July 31, 1988 the newly erected St. Thomas' Anglican Church in Orrville was dedicated. The new building built by architect Michael Kelly replaced the 80 year old building that served the congreation since 1936 when it was moved to Orrville from Haines Lake.

History Biographical:

In 1868 the first services of St. Thomas' Anglican Church (Ullswater-Bent River, Ont.) were conducted by Rev. W. Mosley in the school house located behind the church property. Land for St. Thomad' was purchased on October 31, 1882 from Frederick and Mary Richardson. St. Thomas' was built in the same year at a cost of around $8,500, which included the cost of a fence surrounding the churchyard.

The church was consecrated by Bishop Sullivan on February 28, 1885 and the burial grounds on January 21, 1888.

Under the leadership of Rev. R.J. Inshaw, who arrived in 1953, Bent River (where services were held in the school) joined the Ulswater parish. During this period St. Thomas' was repainted, re-roofed, and oil heating and electricity were installed.

Incumbents: Rev. W. Mosley, Dr. Newton (1871-1874), William Crompton, Rev. Mr. Chowne (1880-1892), Archdeacon Gowan Gilmore (1892-1907), Rev. Frost (1907-1918), Rev.
