It has not been kept up well. I visited last summer and found it in disrepair, the grass was tall and many stones were tipping. The church opened in 1874. It burned on July 30 1957 when lightning struck the steeple. All records in the church were lost. It was not rebuilt. It is believed that many were buried before the erection of the church. Some are said to have been some of the first settlers, while others were United Empire Loyalists.
