INSIDE ST MARK'S ANGLICAN EPISCOPAL CHURCH, NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE
Doors Open Visit on October 20, 2013. The church was open to visitors, but was not one of the official stops for the Doors Open event, so there was no guide on hand, and the interior lights were not turned on, which made this video a challenge for my trusty old Kodak.
From the church website:
The land granted by the Crown for a Church lay midway between the town and the military establishment at Fort George. Work began quickly on the construction of a fine building with the stone being quarried from the escarpment and hauled to the site by the troops. It seemed for a while that the project was too ambitious for the small congregation and the work was not complete enough for the holding of services until 1809. The structure was rectangular and the outline of the extension for the chancel may still be seen in the floor boards. The building remains the oldest Anglican Church in continuous use in Ontario.
From Ontario Heritage Trust website:
Born in Westmoreland, England (now spelled Westmorland), Robert Addison was a Church of England clergyman who settled in Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake) in 1792. At that time, Newark was the seat of the government of Upper Canada. Addison became chaplain of the legislature. The third Protestant clergyman to settle in Upper Canada, Addison was the only Anglican minister west of Kingston, and the sole pastor of any denomination in the Niagara Region. For this reason Addison regularly ministered to communities as far away as the Six Nations settlement along the Grand River, where his friend Joseph Brant translated the sermons he preached in the Mohawk Chapel. Addison oversaw the construction of St. Mark's Church in Newark, which was completed in 1809. St. Mark's was the first Anglican church in Upper Canada to hold regular services. Addison's congregation included many luminaries, such as General Isaac Brock and Colonel John Butler. It was Addison who conducted Brock's funeral service. During the War of 1812, he added military chaplain to his duties. When Newark was captured by American forces in 1813, Addison was held as a prisoner of war and St. Mark's Church was partially burned. A highly educated man, Addison contributed significantly to the Common Schools Act of 1816.
Addison's large personal library, the first in the new colony, is now preserved in Addison Hall, which is adjacent to the church.
