Historical Information
The meeting house at Rossway was dedicated in 1856. Much of the timber for the structure was donated by Stephen Nichols, and neighbors hewed it with broad axes. In the meantime, services at Rossway were held at the home of Stephen Nichols. Sometimes services were held in a home in Gulliver's Cove (see bibliography under D.I. McClare's, The Digby Neck First Pastorate.) In addition, the year 1891 saw great renovations at the Rossway Church structure as the entire church structure was renovated. Its history and pastoral care are rooted in the history of the Digby Neck First Pastorate.
