Clerics | Photos & Coordinates | Sources
This distinctive church and manse at Sidney, in what is now the Municipality of North Norfolk, was constructed in 1891 by contractor John McCartney of red bricks, allegedly from the nearby Sidney Brickworks. Originally used as by a Methodist congregation, it became a United Church after the 1925 unification of the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregationalist faiths in Canada. The church, now closed, was converted into a private residence.
The building became a municipally-designated historic site in 2002.
