Welcome to The Sanctuary; I purchased this property in 2022 and am now ready to share a little bit of Canadian History. One of the Oldest churches in Canada still in use today. Erected in 1860 as a Welsley Methodist church who were known for "methodical" devotion to prayer and social justice; such as supporting the underground railroad; they were also famously "teetotalers" (no Alchol) and this church was highly likely the headquarters for the local Temperance movements in 1800 Oxford Centre. In 1925 they joined the United Church of Canada. this old charm of a place has that old church feel. There are several church services still taking place throughout the week; so please, if wanting to stay; Remember respect goes a long way. You are more than welcomed to participate in the sermons; Yet please remember; I own the property and have no affiliation with the church group other than being the landlord. There is a decommission graveyard on site with the last burial taking place in 1921. Please respect the ancestors buried; you might even see a ghost worthy seeing! In 1970; an F4 Tornado came thru Oxford County 1km wide and destroyed pretty much the entire area; except for this church.. the roof was missing when the storm finally past, but the original stained glass survived; It destroyed 30 homes and the Anglican Church rebuilt across the street. Talk about counting your blessings! Most all the graves made their way all over the adjoining fields and the pieces that were found and returned were set in the corner section of the grave yard. RIP. Behind the church is an area for tents; please respect the graveyard and do not set up camp past the church building where the graveyard is. You are more than welcomed to pay your respects and use the yard next door, but please no harmful doing on this part of the land.
