St. Alban the Martyr Anglican Church

St. Alban the Martyr Anglican Church (Hamilton, Ont.) fonds. – 1914-2014. – 82 cm of textual records.

The rector of St. James decided that Hamilton residents living in Homeside, east of Kenilworth Avenue needed a parish of their own. A plot was purchased on the north-east corner of Fairfield Avenue and the Pipeline in 1912. A wooden church was built in 1913. In the summer of 1924 the parishioners transported their church by horse and cart northwest along the Pipeline to the corner of Cope and Britannia where it was attached to the beginning of a new brick church. A new chapel was constructed in 1938. A new building was erected in 1960 and dedicated on 25 January 1961. For a more complete history see 75, St. Alban the Martyr, Hamilton.

The fonds consists of parish registers containing statistical records, Vestry and Mother's Union minutes, Women's Auxiliary work books, and legal and other documents. Most of the fonds has been microfilmed.
