Roots of St. Stephen's Anglican Church Saint Stephen's Church builtin 1872, is located in Elgin County on the Fingal Line, approximately a 20 minute drive west of St. Thomas, and just west of the intersection of Iona Road, which is known as Burwell’s Corners. Colonel Mahlon Burwell lived at that corner and was a surveyor for Colonel Thomas Talbot. Burwell did most of the surveying in this area, setting aside 200 hundred acres of land and through the sale of parcels of land, provided money to build Saint Stephen's Church. It was built in 1871, and opened for services in January 1872. In 1927, money was collected for a Perpetual Care Fund for the cemetery, which is located immediately east of the Church. Colonel and Mrs. Burwell are buried in St Stephen’s Cemetery. Their unique tombstones are large flat stones, held erect by pillar-like columns.
