Trinity Anglican Church
Trinity Anglican Church
The Trinity Anglican Church was built and consecrated on August 4, 1872.
After over 120 years, the church closed in 1994 due to declining membership. It was sold to the North Middlesex Historical Society in 1996, and after extensive renovations it is now the location of the Marg and Leroy Walker Research Room.
The Research Room contains all of the historical society's archives; thousands of historical documents, pictures, and scrapbooks containing information about the people and places of North Middlesex.
In September 2021, we lost a major landmark in the Village of Ailsa Craig when a windstorm took down the 150 year old steeple at the Trinity Chapel. If you would like to learn more about our efforts to rebuild the steeple, and make a donation, you can find more information on our main website.

The earliest record of the Trinity Anglican Church is a deed dated August 25, 1869, in which David Craig of the village donated a parcel of land containing one-fifth of an acre. The terms of were that if the Church Society of the Diocese of Huron did not erect within three years "a good and commodious building for the general uses of the United Church of England and Ireland in the Province of Ontario" then the deed would be void. The church was built and consecrated on August 4, 1872, just within the deadline.
