History Biographical:

Christ Anglican Church (Gregory, Ont.) is part of the two-point Muskoka Lakes Anglican Parish (Muskoka, Ont.).

The exterior of Christ Anglican Church was built in 1891, but it was not until 1897 that the interior was completed. The church wardens hired a young man, Harry H. Woods, to take care of the property and ring the bell. Only three months later he drowned. His was the first funeral and burial done by the Gregory church.

In 1918 the roof was shingled.

A stained glass memorial window for Charles Edward Norris, a former church warden, was installed and dedicated in the spring of 1965. The window depicts the parable of the Good Samaritan.
