Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
The Holy Trinity Anglican Church Site is a Municipal Heritage Property located approximately 20 kilometres northeast of Shellbrook. The designation applies to a small, wood-frame church built in 1914.
Heritage Value
The heritage value of the Holy Trinity Anglican Church Site lies with its association to the establishment of the Anglican faith in this region of the province. Constructed by local builders and made from locally cut timber, this church was used by the congregation for more than forty years. It remains today one of the oldest Anglican churches in the Shellbrook region and was used until the congregation built a new church at another location in 1958.
The heritage value of the church also lies in its architecture. The church displays the traditional architectural style of rural churches and includes Gothic-Revival elements such as the arched windows, arched main entrance, and front bell tower.
