I mean this is not like Disneyworld or anything like that... but it is a hidden pearl in the middle of nowhere. It is packed with history and tells a story. I wish that the stories were written somewhere on the walls though with explanations and all. But even without that, there is a story to be understood that the walls, I feel, tell on their own. It's a special place to visit, filled with peace, inspiring and historic. I go there every once in a while, just because.... There is also a cemetery in the back that has really old tombstones, that is also interesting....

Interesting place to visit when in the area. Old church (1821) which burned down in 1970 was nicely restored and opened for visitors.

Was not aware we had these kinds of ruins in Canada. Quite special and well maintained after all. Very nice historical landmark. And not far from main roads. Good place for pictures.

It is actually beautiful. It is fairly easy to find, it is on County Route 18 about 1 mile West of county route 34.

Bring your lunch, spend some time in the quiet countryside. Historical landmark. Sitting inside thr ruins on the benches provided by the church will bring you peace and serenity. The original bell is still present. Many families take memorable pictures on the ruins property. The historical society has done a spectacular job maintaining the ruins.

My relatives had their wedding pictures taken there, and you couldn't ask for a better spot. It's well-maintained and very quiet. I've been there on other occasions just to take pictures and enjoy the architecture. Also, interesting cemetery at the back for those who like to wander. Worth the short drive from Cornwall!

I was in this church before it burn several times. It was a beautiful church atop a hill over looking the country side. The ruins are a reminder of what was and to me the importance of this church in the farming community.

Just a lovely contemplative spot in the country side to have a seat, relax, wander about. Despite the tragic fire, it is being preserved and still holds a certain peace.

Difficult to find, but worth the trip. The ruins were very large walls built of stone. The mason work was wonderful. A curator was on duty to give the history of the church. It was very interesting. We walked thru the ruins then the a joining cemetery. It was interesting to see the headstones and dates on them. Some of them dated back to the 1800's.
