- History / Biographical
- "A fine example of early Gothic Revival architecture, this Anglican church lies in the midst of the original 'Talbot Settlement.' The nave was erected by the congregation in 1827. The belfry and tower, added in 1845 to accommodate a bell donated by the Earl of Galloway, adhered to the original style. In 1849 Bishop John Strachan consecrated the church, and two years later the Reverend James Stewart became first resident priest of the parish. Charlotte Simcoe, a daughter of the province's first lieutenant-governor, gave St. Peter's a silver communion service in 1844. The nearby burying ground contains the graves of some of the area's earliest settlers, including that of Col. Thomas Talbot, founder of the 'Talbot Settlement' " - text of historic plaque erected by the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board, Department of Public Records and Archives of Ontario
