ee , July 28, 1965 SW MARTINS AT HOME IN BIRDSEYE CENTRE Anglican Church Dates Back To Confederation Church-going visitors to Port Perry will find one of the oldest houses of worship in Ontario County in this village. The Anglican Church is be- Neved to have been built in 1867. There is no corner-stone visible in the outer walls but if the date ig accurate this pleasant little retreat will celebrate its cen- tenary with the nation. Port Perry today has six churches, approximately one for rere 400 persons: United, Pres- byterian, Anglican, Baptist, Roman Catholic and Pente- costal. "Pre-dating the church, which was the first brick church built in Port Perry, was a wooden edifice built in 1856 by the Episcopal Methodists. And in or about the same year the Presbyterian congregation built a church in Prince Albert (and some years later one in Port Perry). The Ontario County 100th an- niversary booklet says there were probably church services in the village before any churches were erected and names the furniture store of a Anglican Mr.-Davis as the place, Adds the booklet: 'There seems to have been much Co- operation between the different denominations. Not only did they use the same equipment, but they seem to have had many of the same folk in their choirs." It was noted, too, that the wooden churches cost about $1,000 each to build, with the brick Anglican one costing twice that much. Ten years earlier, the church was consecrated by the district Bishop. & 'CAMPING FACILITIES -- _ "TRAILER PARKING DRIVE. TO PORT PERRY AND FOLLOW THE SIGNS PLANNING A PICNIC? A SWIM?
