Saint James Anglican Church Leitrim
Saint James Anglican Church Leitrim, was the first English
church in the Township of Gloucester, and is a superb example of
vernacular architecture. The interior of the church holds two,
beautiful stained-glass windows, one modern, the other dated to
1879. As well, the sanctuary was crafted by the congregation in
honour of the church’s 120th anniversary. There are two
pieces of early furniture in the lower hall, one a prayer desk, the
other an altar. The church is believed to be on the site of a
pioneer cemetery, pre-dating the church by many years.
