St. George’s Anglican Church is the oldest church in Ajax today. It is a typical, small country church, within a setting of spruce trees, gravestones and wrought iron railings. The earliest dates legible on the gravestones in the adjoining cemetery date back to the 1860s. The Grand Trunk Railway provided the red bricks in return for a railway right-of-way across land deeded to the church as clergy reserves. Defining architectural features include angled bricks around the doorways and windows, the different bonds of exterior brickwork and the cell-cote on the roof. The church continues to be an important landmark in Pickering Village.
