"CHRIST CHURCH 1819" ~ Amherstburg - Ontario Provincial Plaques on Waymarking.com

Built by Army Engineers, under the direction of Rev. Richard Pollard in 1819, this is the oldest Anglican church in Ontario. The ceiling is of native rough hewn timbers bound together with oaken pins. The nails were made by former slaves living a mile south at Colonel Elliott's. The north part of the yard was the original Public Burying Ground in 1798. In this yard were interred all who died here in the first 70 years of settlement. The oldest tombstone is erected to Alexander Duff, 1809.
