Article Published on the Construction of the Church

13/6/2016

Mr. Bert Hill, a retired reporter for the Ottawa Citizen, has recently completed research into the origins of the construction of the church and the people who built it.  Specifically, Bert has written an article on Mr. Isaac Johnson, ex-slave and stonemason, who was responsible for much of the stonework in the Winchester United church.

This fascinating re-telling of Isaac Johnson's life and the original construction of the church lends credence to the historical significance this building continues to have in the Winchester area.

You can find this article on the church website.
