Saint Thomas at Vernon (Outside)


Saint Thomas Anglican Church in the community formerly known as Vernon.


The church was built over the course of 1898-1899 with the chancel and tower being added in 1903.


This was my third try at seeing the church.  The two previous attempts were during the winter months at which time I discovered the local rural roads were buried in snow.   


The main entrance is through the double doors in the crenellated tower.  


The cemetery was established soon after the construction of the church.


Lovely setting for a country church...a meadow surrounded by trees.

  1. Very reminiscent of a castle. This one was built to last.

    1. Kind of funny to think it's just a short drive from Regina...Regina not being known for it's castles, that is.
