Historical Information
<p>The Windsor Baptist Church can trace its inception back to December 4, 1819, when 13 members came together to form the congregation with the help of Rev. David Nutter.</p>
<p>During the winter of 1819-1820 the congregation met in the upper level of a dwelling on Gerrish St. while their church was being erected. This first church was located between Stannus and Victoria Streets. This church was built in the Meeting House style, a common style among protestant congregations in early to mid-nineteenth century Atlantic Canada. This style is often characterized by its small and rather plain facility, with no steeple, and gothic embellishments. The front entrance was often on the gable end, with either two entrances, one on the left and right sides of the front façade, one meant for the men and the other for women; or a centrally placed doorway.</p>
<p>The congregation soon outgrew their first building and in 1858, they built again, this time the structure was located on King St., near the end of Gerrish St., on land donated by Mr. Peter Shand. Several years later the building was enlarged and expanded, with a Sunday School located beside it. This building, along with 77 other buildings in town, was destroyed in a fire on October 17, 1897.</p>
<p>The congregation soon began planning of the construction of their third church and hired Mr. Joseph Taylor of Falmouth, who was a master builder. The structure and all its furnishings were completed in 1899 at a cost of $14,000. This building had many renovations and additions added to it over the years. This church was typical for its time in terms of style and architecture. This church was a prime example of the transitional phase in Baptist Church around the turn of the twentieth century from a symmetrical design, usually in the Gothic Revival style, with a centrally placed steeple on the gable end, to an asymmetrical design with the steeple place usually on the side of the structure. Many of these churches with an asymmetrical design are also based on a modified “Akron Plan,” so named because it was first used in Akron, Ohio in 1867. This design abandoned the traditional long, straight, and narrow sanctuary with a central aisle in favor of a shallower and wider sanctuary with a sloping floor and pews which sweep in a half-circle and are broken into three sections. The purpose of these features was to enable everyone to see and hear clearly in a time when sound and projection systems were nonexistent. Also typical of the Akron style are sliding walls which allow the gallery to be closed off when not needed, and doors on the Sunday School rooms which completely open the front wall of the classroom. In a true Akron style Sunday School, the classes would open these doors completely so that the superintendent would be in full view to address the whole Sunday school. Doors were then closed for the class time. The sliding door could also be opened to enlarge the seating capacity of the sanctuary.</p>
<p>This church was constructed in the Akron plan. Some of the most striking features of this structure include the two towers on the front façade, flanking a gable end with a large, ornate Gothic Revival window. The tallest main tower was one of the most catching features of this church’s architecture, and features a staked steeple design, with one main steeple flanked by four smaller towers. This building originally contained a lot of ornate woodwork and archectural detailings; however, with the addition of vinyl siding to the exterior of the structure a lot of trim boards and woodwork were covered up. This building was purchased by a neighbour, who had planned on making a musical center.</p>
<p>Photos one and two are of the same building, however, photo two is a mirror image of the structure.</p>
<p>In the early 2010’s the congregation made the decision to move into a former Mormon church in Windsor; this structure was built in the mid-2000’s. This church was built using hints of classical architecture, visible on the front façade with its classical style pillars, breaking the façade into three bays. The structure has sides that come down far on each side, demonstrating that this church is in fact a new build. This church style represents a stylistic shift in Baptist Church architecture and is typical for its time in terms of style. This building is much more than just a place that is used for Sunday gatherings, it is a place that is intended to be used throughout the week for various events and classes.</p>

Historical Information
<p>The church was founded in 1844 by Rev. William Carleton. The congregation consisted of 15 members. It is believed that the church met in homes and possibly the schoolhouse until the construction of the building in the 1860’s. The first permanent pastor of the church was Rev. Peter Malloch. Before Rev. Malloch arrived on Campobello Island and even for many years after he left, the church often struggled with finding permanent pastors. Despite these early struggles, the church survived and is still active today.</p>
<p>This church is typical for its time in terms of style. Like many country Baptist churches in Atlantic Canada, it was designed and built by local trades- and craftspeople. These workers most likely did not have any formal training constructing churches, but instead learned through working. This church has hints of the Gothic Revival style and is built in a symmetrical design, which is a bit unusual for churches of this period. Many churches from this period are built with an unsymmetrical design and in the Akron Plan.</p>
<p>Some of the most striking features of this building include the three-bay façade, with a centrally placed steeple, on the gable end. This church has maintained many of its original interior features including its pews. Its ornate stained-glass windows are also original to the structure, along with the bell in the belfry. One of the most striking features on the interior of the church are the walls that are still covered in the original, stained, wood panelling.</p>
<p>In the 1980’s an ‘L’ was added to the right side of the structure, containing a fellowship hall, bathrooms, pastor’s office and two meeting rooms.</p>
<p>This church is now covered in vinyl siding, with black asphalt shingles on the roof; however, originally it was covered in white wooden clad boards.</p>

Historical Information
Allen Gibson’s “Churches by the Sea” indicates that the Rev. Richard Cunningham was the pioneer of Baptist work in the Port Lorne area. Cunningham became the pastor at nearby Chute’s Cove, a community known as Hampton today. In the wake of a revival, a fellowship was organized in 1835 and given the name Wilmot Mountain Baptist Church. In 1835 a place of worship opened near the mountain crest and was named Mount Rose. The structure was built in a meetinghouse style.

Historical Information
The land for the Wilmot Union Church was donated by descendants of Rev. John Wiswall who was the Anglican Minister for the Wilmot-Aylesford area between 1790 and 1810. Lumber for project was brought from the “Plains Church”. During the first years of its existence, the Union Church housed 3 or 4 different denominations including: Anglican, Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian. In terms of architecture the church style is Gothic Revival with a steeply pitched front gable roof and a central bell tower with hip and flared roof over the entryway with decorative supports. In 1874 the heirs of the late John Wiswall sold the land for $2500.00 to William Stephenson, Elias Phinney and Henry Phinney. This was to provide for the site of a meetinghouse for the community.
In 1949, the Wilmot Baptist Church was reorganized at a meeting held in the home of Mrs. Clarence Angevine. Later, in 1953, Wilmot re-united with the Lower Aylesford pastorate comprising Tremont, Harmony, Greenwood, and Wilmot churches. In 1978 the South Farmington School, across from the church, was leased as a church hall. The structure was purchased in September of 1979. One section of the school was renovated into a parsonage and the other into a Christian Fellowship Centre, used for social and educational events.

Historical Information
<p>The Willow Grove Baptist Church was built in 1875 and opened in 1878 by the Reverend Edmund H. Duval. This church is located in Simonds Parish, New Brunswick; however, Willow Grove was formerly known as the African Grant, due to the large number of African refugees that received grants in the region.</p>
<p>A Deacon of Germain Street Baptist Church, Saint John, in 1870 Edmund H. Duval received a certificate of licence to preach from that congregation. He fought to improve social conditions for the descendants of Black Loyalists, particularly those living at Loch Lomond, also known as Willow Grove, located near Saint John. To better assist blacks at Willow Grove, he bought a farm there and taught residents farming techniques. He was instrumental in the construction of Willow Grove Baptist Church in the 1870s, which was considered a mission of Germain Street Baptist Church.</p>
<p>This church was constructed in the Victorian Gothic Revival style. Some of the most striking exterior features of this church included the eyebrow label mouldings over the rounded tops of the windows, on either side of the structure. The building had a centrally placed doorway on the gable end. Some of the most striking features of the front façade were the three finials, one on either side of the roof, near the ends and one centrally placed on the peak. This feature was typical of the Victorian Gothic Revival structures. Each of these finials on the sides of the building had corner pilaster boards, resembling large ornate columns. Another interesting feature was the medallion window situated near the peak and the large window situated above the doorway. The building had a steeply pitched roof, typical for its time in terms of style. It is unknown when this church was destroyed, but a small, shed sits where the church once stood. </p>

Historical Information
<p>In 1885, Seth Milberry donated land to build a church on this site; in 1906 a building was dedicated on the site. On October 20, 1906, the church was organized as the Wicklow United Baptist Church by Rev. L.A. Fenwick & Rev. Charles Sterling. It is unknown what happened between 1906 and 1920; however, interest in the church appeared to have diminished and the building’s fate was uncertain. On August 12, 1920, the church, with renewed interest, reopened following extensive repairs ($1,544.00).</p>
<p>Currently the church resembles those built in the Meeting House style, a common style among Baptists in early to mid-nineteenth century Atlantic Canada. This style is often characterized by its small and rather plain facility, with no steeple, and gothic embellishments. The front entrance was often on the gable end, with either two entrances, one on the left and right sides of the front façade, one meant for the men and the other for women; or a centrally placed doorway. In this case there are two doorways, giving a hint to the type of mindset the original congregation had.</p>
<p>Originally this church has a large steeple situated on the left side of the front façade. It is likely that this was removed during the extensive repairs around 1920. The steeple and the rest of the building were constructed in the Gothic Revival style, which was common for Baptist churches of its time. The steeple appears to have originally had an open-cage belfry situated just below the spire and would have contained a bell. The main entrance was originally located on the front side of the steeple, and with its removal the doors were repositioned the middle of the front façade. In 2018 a one-level addition was constructed on the front of the building, as well as a side doorway, near the corner of the front façade. When the church had this addition constructed, it once again altered the look and the front façade of the church.</p>

Historical Information
In the early 1790's, Rev. Joseph Dimock traveled and preached throughout the Weymouth area. Rev Dimock eventually passed on his work to Enoch Towner who organized a Baptist church at Sissiboo, which is known today as Weymouth church. According to Allen Gibson’s “Churches by the Sea”, the church at Sissiboo held a meeting in 1843 which resulted in a reorganization of the church. Many members were dismissed to form local congregations at New Tusket, St. Mary’s Bay, and Digby Joggins. The present house of worship was built in 1873, resulting in the older structure being torn down.
The first congregation and structure on this site was formed in 1799 when it was then known as the Weymouth Baptist Church. It is presumed that the first church on this site burned or was too small from the growth of the congregation as the current church was built in 1827.
Close examination reveals a rubble stone foundation under the bell tower, while the rest of the building is on concrete, probably replacing the stone foundation, sometime prior to the 1960s.
Still clad in its original wood shiplap siding, the building has all rectangular openings with heavy wood lintels. The corners all have wide board trim with double capitals under returned eaves. The front entrance is treated similarly, with small pilasters each side, each with a small capital. Above is a small flat pediment, slightly heavier than the lintels over the windows and belfry vents.
The bell tower, set about half its depth into the nave, serves as the entrance and has vents all around. It has no spire whatsoever. It's very unlikely to have been built "sans spire", meaning that it has lost the spire, whether through weather or microbial action (it rotted and either fell down or was taken down). Losing its spire to a gale is a common phenomenon in the Maritimes.

Historical Information
Weymouth Falls was founded by Rev. Richard Preston who was ordained in London in 1832. The church was later established in 1853. The present church structure at Weymouth Falls was dedicated in 1921. In September of 1921 delegates from the association officiated at the laying of the cornerstone service for the new church structure. It was commonly known as Mount Beulah Church.
The Mount Beulah church is situated on a knoll overlooking the landscape. The structure can be viewed as you approach from across the river bridge.
The most catching detail of this building is how it has retained many, if not all, of its original features, including fancy trim and moulding boards, large stained-glass windows, and interior finishes.
From the History of Digby book, we know that many Black settlers came to this part of Digby County in the late part of the eighteenth century. Many were artisans and skilled tradesmen. This church was most likely constructed by Black settlers of the area who sought to have their own place of worship and a place to show the skill of the community’s workers. One of the most notable members of Digby’s Black population, heavyweight boxer Sam Langford (c. 1884-1953) is from Weymouth and was part of the community that built this church.
