Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe First St. James' Church (1807-1818), Toronto, in 1816. (24021087833).jpg |
Established in old York in 1797, St. James' was the first parish in Toronto. During the War of 1812, the Anglican church was used as a hospital and suffered damaged by American troops. A bell tower, added in 1818, doubled as a fire bell for the town. This wooden building was replaced by a new stone building 1833. But it burnt down shortly after. After the new cathedral was completed in 1839, they moved the church graveyard to Parliament & Bloor.
