History Biographical: 

St. John the Baptists Anglican Church (Clear Lake, Ont.) is part of the multi-point St. Paul's Anglican Parish (Uffington, Ont.). 

There was interest in constructing a church for the Clear Lake community as early as 1891, when the All Saint's Anglican Church in Lewisham was closed and the proceeds from the sale of property be assigned to the would-be church in Clear Lake. Although there was interest in building a church as early as this, the construction did not begin until the autumn of 1932. The land was cleared and the foundation begun at the close of this year.

History Biographical: 

The early history St. Paul's Anglican Church (Uffington, Ont.) saw a rapid succession of clergy and deacons serving the mission.  The first incumbent was Rev. Thomas Llwyd in the mid-1870s, who was stationed at Gravenhurst and also served the surrounding area.  Llwd was assisted by Mr. W. B. Magan, who was made deacon in 1884.  The Rev. John Greeson succeeded Mr. Magan.  In 1888, the congregation celebrated the arrival of a deacon, Mr. Burden, who had been inspired to emigrate to Canada by Bishop Sullivan, who had been preaching in England to raise support for the Diocese of Algoma.  Under the Rev. H. N. Burden, the congregation removed the first church building and a new building was constructed on the original foundations.  The Society for the Propagation for Christian Knowledge aided local efforts with a grant.  Bishop Sullivan opened the new church at Uffington on January 19, 1889.

St. Paul's, Uffington in 1891The rector at Uffington originally served several local outstations: St. Stephen's Anglican Church (Vankoughnet, Ont.) (built 1890), All Saints' Anglican Church (Lewisham, Ont.) (built 1891), and Christ Anglican Church (Purbrook, Ont.) (built 1891).  Mr. Burden and his wife lost both of their young children in 1891 due to illness, and both of them also being ill, returned to England.  He was replaced by the Rev. A. H. Allman.

The incumbents of St. Paul's Anglican Church (Uffington, Ont.) include: Thomas Llwyd (1875-1884?), W. B. Magan (1884?), John Greeson (1885-1888), H. N. Burden (1888-1891), Arthur Henry Allman (1891-1899), George Gander (?), George Waring (1913-1919), Henry Peeling (1919-1923).

The church has been closed and the building torn down.
