History Biographical:

St. George's Anglican Church (Walford, Ont.) was part of the single-point St. George's Anglican Parish (Walford, Ont.).

The Walford Mission started as part of the Webbwood Mission in the late 1890's and was administered to by Rev. S.H. Morgan every two weeks as part his regular schedule. In 1906 the Webbwood Mission was divided; Massey, Spanish River, and Walford were moved into the new Massey Mission. By 1907 a site for the church building had been acquired, and by autumn of this year it was nearing completion. In November 1911, St. George's Anglican Church was ready for consecration, but a bad storm prevented people from attending and it was postponed.

St. George's fell into disuse sometime before 1975. At an Executive Committee meeting on October 28th, 1977, it was decided the church ought to be demolished before its collapse.
