St. Augustine Anglican Church - Prospect, Ontario - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Built in 1854 by stone mason John May on land donated by William James, using lumber and stone supplied by the parishioners. The steep slope of the roof and vertical shape of the pointed windows in this church suggest the emerging interest in Gothic Revival architecture.

In 1888 the St Augustine congregation became part of the Parish of Ashton. In 1967, St. Stephen's, Munster and St. Augustine's, Prospect were closed for regular Sunday services. The parish of Ashton maintains the church, cemetery and surrounding grounds. Annual cemetery memorial services are held at 2:30 pm on the first Sunday of August each year. On August 1, 2004 the parish celebrated 150 years of Worship and Witness in the Anglican tradition.
