Our Story
Trinity Anglican Church opened in 1863. It was not the beginning of the Anglican church in this area, but it was certainly quite early in its history. The Church of England came to what is now Ontario with the surge of the United Empire Loyalists, following the American revolution and settlers arrived wherever there were population pockets. Around 1809, Westminster Township area began to be settled. By the middle of the century, what is now Lambeth came to be known as "The Junction" because of the intersection of major roads at that location, but in April 1857, the post office was re-named "Lambeth."
Jeremiah Schram was one of the first settlers in the area. A Loyalist born in 1761, in his will left an acre of land as a cemetery and for the building of a "...place of public Worship to any denomination of people professing Christianity conformable to the Church of England." Schram passed away on November 10, 1826, making that provision for what would eventually become Trinity Church, but with a cemetery open to all people of any denomination.
