Saint Matthew's Anglican Church was built in 1906.
Unusual roof line on the porch, and above, the tall spire adds a little touch of grandeur.
This stained glass triptych is above the altar...
...the interior is otherwise spartan.
There are graves on both sides of the church with most of the taller headstones on the north side of the church.
Each vertical wire on the old-fashioned fence surrounding the grounds is topped by a small cast iron maple leaf...sometimes it's the little things.

It's a wonder thieves haven't made off with those iron maple leaves. Such beautiful stained glass. All in all a tidy little church.
ReplyDeleteI don't doubt that it's been open since the day it was completed. Rare to find an Anglican church in the prairies that's locked. I've only ever seen that same fence once and that was at a cemetery down in southeast Saskatchewan.
