St. Peter’s Anglican Church (Stoneleigh, Ont.) is part of the Lake of Bays Mission; originally administered to by the incumbent at St. Thomas’ Anglican Church (Bracebridge, Ont.). In 1876 Frederick Fauquier, Lord Bishop of Algoma, purchased an acre of land for the church; a small log church was then built. By 1879 the Sunday School was established with twenty-two children with Mr. William Piper as the Superintendent. When Bishop Sullivan visited in 1884, he encouraged to seek a grant from the Society of Propagation of Christian Knowledge in order to renovate the rough church. These renovations included a new altar, cover, and frontal; the chancel was carpeted and a picket fence erected.
Unfortunately, the last records of the church were made in 1906. The end days of the church are unrecorded.
