All Saints' Anglican Church (Niagara Falls, Ont.) fonds. -- 1836-2006. -- 37 cm of textual records.
The history of All Saints' church begins with the arrival of Rev. William Leeming in 1820 in the Drummondville area. In 1830 Rev. F.W. Miller arrived to assist Rev. Leeming. Around 1836 the two clergymen had a falling out, resulting in Rev. Miller erecting a "chapel of ease", St. George's, on Main Street. The new chapel drew parishioners from Holy Trinity, Chippawa, as well from Rev. Leeming's followers. Following Rev. Miller's death in 1847, Caroline Miller, his sister, deeded St. George's to Rev. Leeming. That structure was taken down and a new All Saints' church was built on Robinson Street in 1856. The dedication of the Robinson Street church took place on 1 November 1857 which consecration following on 19 July 1863 with the Bishop of Toronto officiating. For a more complete history see the pamphlet All Saints Church (1990) in Envelope 3 of the fonds.
All Saints’ Church, Niagara Falls, Ontario was disestablished on 8 February 2004 by Bishop Ralph Spence.

Historical Notes
St. John's, Stamford (built 1825) and St. George's, Drummondville (built 1836), were ministered to by the same rector during the early 1800's.
In 1856 St. George's Church was taken down and All Saints' Church was built in Drummondville. At about this time, Drummondville became known as Niagara Falls Village. In the records, the rector signs "All Saints', Niagara Falls South."
