History Biographical: 

St. Faith’s Anglican Church (Charlton, Ont.) is located within the multi-point Northern Lights Anglican Parish (Haileybury, Ont.).

Rev. John Leigh arrived in what would be known as the Northern Lights Anglican Parish in 1907, working out of Englehart. He was able to hold a Sunday service every two weeks in Charlton in the parlour of the hotel. Land was received in 1909 to be used for a church and house.  The church was open for use and had its first service in 1911, complete with a Sunday School organized by Mrs. Leigh and with Mrs. E. W. White as superintendent and teacher. In 1919 the inside of the church was completed, and in 1922 the Women’s Auxiliary was formed.

The whole of Charlton burned in a fire on October 4, 1922 and most of the church records, specifically the vestry books and minutes, were destroyed. A new church was built in 1923. The new church had a wood foundation, no basement, and was heated with a barrel stove.

Incumbents have included: Rev. John Leigh (1907-1910), Rev. Archdeacon Gowan Gillmor (1911), Rev. Edward Pinnington (1911-1913), Rev. Owen Jull (1914-1916), Rev. Archdeacon Gillmore (1916), Rev. F. Clayton (1916), Rev. Roland Palmer (1916-1917), Rev. W. Swainson (1917-1919), Rev.  J. Templeton (1919-1921), Mr. B. G. Gorse (1922-1923), Rev. Christopher Lord (1924).
