Adams, C. Graham - Feb. 1885-Oct. 1886
St. George's Anglican Church (Georgetown, Ont.) fonds. -- 1852-2000. -- 60.5 cm of textual records and graphic material.
The first St. George's Church was built in the late 1840s and was a plain frame structure with tower and spire. It stood directly behind the current church on land donated by the original pioneers of Georgetown, Mrs. and Mrs. George Kennedy. In 1852 Georgetown became a parish, with its own rector, Rev. Thomas W. Marsh. By the 1870s, it was clear that the original church was too small, and a new one was constructed during the incumbency of Rev. Arthur Boultbee, 1875-1889. For a more complete history see St. George's Church, 1852-1952 Centennial.
The fonds consists of parish registers containing statistical records and services. There are also some financial statements and photographs. Most of the fonds has been microfilmed on 3 reels, numbered 140-141, and 373.

Historical Notes
While the first St. George's Church was not built until the late 1840s the area was served by itinerant missionaries for many years before then. The first church was a plain frame structure with a tower and spire. It stood directly behind the present church upon land donated by the original pioneers of Georgetown, Mr. and Mrs. George Kennedy. In 1852 the church was established as a parish with a resident clergyman of its own. By the 1870s, it was realized that the old church building was becoming much too small for the need of St. George's and the new structure was finally completed during the incumbency of the Reverend Arthur Boultbee, 1875-1880. During these early years the parish was linked with those of Stewarttown and Norval.
