Saint Stephen's at Tangleflags


Not far east of the Alberta/Saskatchewan border stands Saint Stephen's Anglican Church.  It was built in 1937.  


I'm sure it's been some time since there were regular services here but I'll bet this country church is host to the occasional wedding or funeral...or maybe just a pot luck supper and celebration of life from time to time. 




The church and grounds are now maintained par excellence by the Tangleflags Community Club.  A big "thank you" to those decicated people. 


It is now a Saskatchewan Heritage Site.  Stop by for a visit.


Thanks to the RM of Brittania.

    1. I couldn't have stopped here on a nicer day...beautiful weather and lots to see in the area. The church and grounds are impeccably kept.
      Tangleflags was all new to me as well.

  2. That's certainly an impressive ceiling! Interesting shape for the windows that simply begs for stained glass.

    1. Many of the older Anglican churches have an open, crossed beam ceiling like this one. Stained glass windows were probably a wish and a hope but too expensive.
