Geocache Description:


Cache is a micro along the treeline in Rosebank cemetery. This is a scenic and historic cemetery that doesn't get all the attention it deserves. The orignal church from 1846 is on site, with windows perfect for peeking in.

The following text can be found on a plaque near the entrance:

THE HISTORY OF ROSEBANK CHURCH

Rosebank Church was built around 1846 in Admaston Township on Henry Hutton's farm. The logs were donated by Rowland Crozier. Shingles were hand shaven by Mr. Hanawel and Miles Brown. The neighbours united to build the church. Peter Dalgleish named the church "Rosebank" after the ship on wich he had crossed the ocean from Scotland. It was a Methodist Church with Rev. A. Krupp as the first minister and J.M. Briscoe Chairman of the official board. Sunday School was organized by Henry Hutton, Elisha Francis, and Xavier Plaunt. Services were held here until union in 1925 with the Nortcote congregation of the Admaston Pastoral Charge of the United Church.
