The story of this beautiful old historic church begins with the first colonists who came to this Talbot Settlement and is evidence of the religious faith which they brought with them.
St. Peter's is the only church in this part of Ontario west of Niagara (except H. M. Chapel of the Mohawks on the Six Nations reserve near Brantford) in which Divine Services has been conducted continuously since it was built in 1827.
As for the cemetery, it is immediately across the street from the church. When the church was first built, the current road would not have separated the church from the cemetery.
