Here is a little history of St. Paul’s Church.
St. Paul’s neo-Gothic tower is a landmark beacon in the rolling hills of Northumberland County, just south a few kilometers from Garden Hill in Campbellcroft. The first St. Paul’s Church was built on land deeded to Rev. Jonathon Shortt and his successors of the Church of England, by
James and Margaret Rutledge.
The first church services were held by Dr. Jonathan Shortt in the home of Mr. Francis Coates. The north part of lot 13 was deeded by James Rutledge and his wife, in December of 1840, to the Rev. Jonathan Shortt and his successors in office, as ministers of the Church of England in the Township of Hope, forever.
Of frame construction, the old church survived until 1914 when the present stone building was erected by Cecil G. Mercer in 1914 “contracted for $1,000.00”. On June 24, 1914 Rev. Mr. T.R. Omeara LL.D., Principal of Wycliffe College, laid the new cornerstone. The church was consecrated by Bishop Reeve in November of 1914. The largest of the Parish churches, St. Paul’s can seat up to 140 parishioners and guests. This magnificent structure features stones gathered from local fields, buttressed walls and crenellated tower, ornamental trussed ceiling and beautiful stained glass windows given in memory of the pioneers of the church.
In 1988 St. Paul’s was designated as a historic site and in 2002 celebrated its 160th anniversary. Most recently, a portico has been added to the main entrance to protect the beautiful oak doors southern exposure. Hand crafted out of pine by John Belle and George Billington, this addition was dedicated by Rev. Phelan Scanlon on September 13, 2009. Credit for information is given to an article by Barry F. King and to text from the 1942 edition of The Canadian Churchman.
