History Biographical: 

St. John's Anglican Church (Webbwood, Ont.) started as part of the mission in Cooke's Mills, which was a small settlement in what is now Welland Ontario. The church is now part of the St. James' Anglican Parish (Massey, Ont.).

The Webbwood mission separated from Cooke's Mills in 1896, and the first clergyman was Rev. S.H. Morgan, a student. He conducted the first service January 3, 1896. The mission used a schoolhouse for its services until December 1896, when they began using a local Methodist church. They built a church of their own between November and December of that same year, and their first service in the new building was held on December 25, 1896. The building was dedicated by the Bishop of Algoma on April 2, 1897. A parsonage was built almost ten years later in 1906.

In 1913, the parsonage received a workshed and the kitchen was finished. The church had two of its south windows installed with Cathedral glass. 

In 1984, the parishioners of St. John's petitioned for their church to be closed and the property disposed. The church was re-opened in the fall of 1985.

History Biographical: 

The Webbwood Mission was first part of the mission in Cooke's Mills, which was a small settlement in what is now Welland Ontario. The Webbwood Mission separated from Cooke's Mills in 1896 and included stations at the following locations: Whitefish Falls, Nairn Centre, Webbwood, Massey, Sagamok First Nation (Spanish River Reserve), and Walford. 

The first clergyman was Rev. S.H. Morgan, a student, who made regular visits to these six stations within the mission. He conducted the first service on January 3, 1896. At Webbwood, they used a schoolhouse for services until December 1896, when they began using a local Methodist church. This arrangement was short lived and the Anglican church was built between November and December with their first service in the new building on December 25, 1896. The church was dedicated St. John's by the Bishop of Algoma on April 2, 1897. A parsonage was built almost ten years later in 1906, when the Webbwood Mission was divided and Massey, Walford, and Sagamok First Nation (Spanish River) formed the new Massey Mission.

Meanwhile the Anglican presence at Whitefish Falls had been on the decline since 1890 when the trade companies withdrew, and when the mission was re-activated around 1916, it was administered to by the rector at Holy Trinity Anglican Church (Little Current, Ont.) rather than Webbwood. This would leave the church at Nairn Centre, which was also built around 1896, and Webbwood as making up the Webbwood Mission in 1916.

This mission ended in 1924 when the Rainbow Country Anglican Parish was established with St. George the Martyr Anglican Church (Espanola, Ont.) at its centre.
