St. Paul's Episcopal Church

St. Paul's Episcopal Church, now St. Paul's Anglican Chruch, was built in 1856 and opened in October 1857.

It is a place of historical significance in Sackville for two important reasons - its association with Bishop John Medley and its Gothic Revival style of architecture.

Bishop Medley had been involved in the construction or renovation of over one hundred churches, of which this is one. Bishop Medley wanted to build a medieval style stone building, but with New Brunswick wood at a prominent location in town.

With a central location in the town of Sackville, the church played a very important role in the growing community in 1800s. The above information came from Canada's Historic Places.
