History Biographical: 

St. James’ Anglican Church (Cobalt, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Northern Lights Anglican Parish (Haileybury, Ont.).

The Anglican congregation in Cobalt started with Rev. R.A. Cowling of Haileybury and the Rev. George Thornelow, Bishop of Algoma, visiting the pioneer town in December 1905. Church services were held in the Cobalt schoolhouse with Mr. Cowley coming from Haileybury.

The Mining Corporation assisted in purchasing the property for what would become St. James’ Anglican Church. The church was constructed with utilitarian design, the rock of the hill serving as its foundation. Over time the church has been strengthened with steel beams and a cement foundation. The church was opened August 19, 1906 by Bishop Thorneloe and Bishop Montgomery of the S.P.G. A chancel was added in 1909 to accommodate the larger congregation.

Rectors and incumbents have included: Mr. H.J. Richard (catechist) (1906), Mr. W.E. Philips (catechist) (1906-1907), Mr. R.C. Bartels (1907), Mr. M.S. Banewel (1907), Rev. E.P.S. Spencer (1907-1911).
