WP#1 - N 45° 26.409 W 075° 58.298
St. Mary's Anglican Church (1908)



Structural stress on the original St. Mary's Church, built at Pinhey's Point, North March Township by Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey in 1828, made it necessary to build a new place of worship. In 1908, the local masonries from Carp built the new St. Mary's at its current location, not far away from the original. Many stained glass windows, plaques, the font for baptisms, and several other items are in memory of Pinhey descendants.

ABCD = the number on the black sign in front of the church




WP#2 - N 45° 26.387 W 075° 57.215
Pinhey's Point Historic Site (1821 - 1849)



Built in stages from 1821 until 1849, “Horaceville” was the home of Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey, a British settler who became a leading member of Upper Canadian Society. From its humble beginnings as a log building covered in clapboard, the house evolved into the magnificent stone structure that exists today. Picnic area. Guided tours of the main house and out-buildings.

EF = the age of Hamnett Piney when he retired to Canada in 1820.
