Plaque coordinates: 43.776494 -79.181246

The first Presbyterian church in this area, a small frame building, was erected here in 1851 under the leadership of Thomas Wightman, pastor of Knox Church Agincourt and first minister of Melville, and elders William Young and William Ferguson. The site was the gift of George Stephenson, a Highland Creek miller. The original frame church was bricked over in 1887, and in 1899 a large manse was built nearby and presented to the congregation by John, Sandy and James Neilson.
