St. Jude's Church

Just inside the fence here at 1745 Victoria Park Avenue, south of Lawrence Avenue, on the grounds of this church, set back quite a way from the street, is a Scarborough Historical Society plaque. Here's what it says:

Plaque coordinates: 43.738577 -79.305915

Erected in 1848 by the Rev. Wm. Stewart Darling and the Anglican families of the Wexford area of Scarborough, the site of the church and the cemetery was originally a private burial plot of the Parkin family. The church is a perfectly scaled model of the first minister's home church in England. It is now the oldest surviving Anglican church building in Scarborough.
