St. John's Anglican Church (Rockwood, Ont.) fonds. -- 1880-1973. -- 10 cm of textual records.
In 1840 Henry and Elizabeth Ann Strange settled in Rockwood. Henry Strange donated the land to build the church. Services were held in the 1840s and 1850s but it appears that St. John's, a frame structure, was not build until 1859. Rev. C.H. Drinkwater located in Rockwood that year and served congregations in Rockwood, Farnham Plains, and Eramosa. In June 1880 a Building Committee was struck. It was decided not to repair the existing structure, but build a new stone church instead.
The fonds consists of parish registers containing statistical records, services, Vestry minutes, and financial accounts. It has been microfilmed.
Title based on content of fonds.
Fonds on deposit. Ownership of the fonds resides with St. John's Anglican Church.
Finding aid available in hard copy and electronically.
Researchers are requested to use the microfilm. They must also sign an agreement of use form.
Further accruals are expected.
