The Sanctuary & Grave-Yard

73km from Southwold Earthworks National Historic Site · 8 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Welcome to The Sanctuary. I purchased this property in 2022 and am excited to share a piece of Canadian history with guests. This site is home to one of the oldest churches in Canada, erected in 1860 as a Wesleyan Methodist church. The congregation was known for its “methodical” devotion to prayer and social justice, including support of the Underground Railroad. They were also famously teetotalers (no alcohol), and the church likely served as a local hub for the Temperance movement in 1800s Oxford Centre. In 1925, it joined the United Church of Canada, and the congregation eventually folded in 2021. There are still occasional church services held on the property, so if you are staying, please be respectful. Guests are welcome to attend services when available. Please note that I am the property owner and have no formal affiliation with the church other than being the landlord. There is a decommissioned graveyard on site, with the last burial taking place in 1921. Please respect those laid to rest here. In 1970, an F4 tornado passed through Oxford County, approximately 1 km wide, and destroyed much of the surrounding area—except this church. The roof was lost during the storm, but the original stained glass survived. The tornado destroyed around 30 homes, and the nearby Anglican church was later rebuilt across the street. Some grave markers were displaced into surrounding fields, and recovered pieces were returned and placed in a corner section of the graveyard. Rest in peace. Behind the church is a designated camping area for tents. Please respect the graveyard and do not set up camp beyond the church building. You are welcome to pay your respects, but no disrespectful or harmful activity is permitted on this part of the land. Things to do nearby: • Pittock Conservation Area (Woodstock) – 15 min: Large park with walking trails and a lake • Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory (Cambridge) – ~45 min: Tropical greenhouse with thousands of free-flying butterflies • Fanshawe Pioneer Village (London) – ~35 min: Open-air historical museum showcasing 19th–20th century life • St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market (St. Jacobs) – ~50 min: Canada’s largest year-round farmers’ market • Woodstock Farmers’ Market (Saturdays until noon) • Woodstock Museum
