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.
The 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).
