Zion Wexford United![]() Toronto, Ontario, Canada Zion Wexford United Church on Lawrence Avenue East in Scarborough. Plaque on the building: ZION-WEXFORD CHURCHIN 1842 A LITTLE LOG CHAPEL WAS BUILT HERE ON A QUARTER ACRE OF LAND PURCHASED FROM ANTHONY TWADDLE FOR EIGHT SHILLINGS BY MEMBERS OF THE PRIMITIVE METHODIST CHURCH. FIRST KNOWN AS TWADDLE'S CHAPEL, IT WAS RENAMED THE PARSONAGE CHURCH IN 1857 WHEN THE MINISTER OF THE CIRCUIT CAME TO LIVE NEARBY. IN 1876-77 IT WAS REPLACED BY THE BRICK CHURCH STILL STANDING BESIDE THE LITTLE PIONEER CEMETARY. WHEN THE PRIMITIVE METHODISTS UNITED WITH THE WESLEYANS ACROSS CANADA IN 1883, THE PARSONAGE CHURCH PEOPLE REFUSED TO JOIN THE LOCAL WESLEYANS IN THEIR CHURCH AT VICTORIA PARK AVENUE. INSTEAD THEY BECAME ZION PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, AND WERE UNITED WITH ST. ANDREWS, BENDALE, IN ONE PASTORAL CHARGE IN 1889. IN 1925 THE CONGREGATION ENTERED THE UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA AND ERECTED A NEW BUILDING BESIDE THE OLD IN 1955. ERECTED BY THE SCARBOROUGH HISTORICAL SOCIETY Other pictures like this one can be found at Scarborough Churches. |
