A Look Inside the Old St. Thomas Church in Ontario

This is a tour inside of the old St. Thomas Church in St. Thomas, Ontario in Canada. This Anglican Church was built in 1822 but service did not commence until 1824. The steeple was added in 1825. Starting off as a rectangular building, an addition was added in 1848. In 1877, the congregation had moved to another Anglican Church in town and regular service had ceased here before the church sat abandoned for quite a few decades and was vandalized during this time. It is now used for special venues and tours during the summer months.

[@NewEnglandOtaku]

We have a similar church in Bennington Vermont, it's still used but it looks a little like this.. and is closed down right now for restoration of the steeple.. but I had a chance to get inside at one time and saw cubicles like this down below and balconies.. I just took photos of the interior.. I'm hoping to do stuff like this more often

[@clairwaucaush7225]

Great video Pam! Very interesting old old church. If the power were to go out this place would not be affected. Lanterns and pump organs! Hope to see more videos from you. Hearing your voice is like hearing from an old friend!

[@TikiTrex]

Hi! I'm from the Philippines. Just want you to know that you are the first urbex channel I've ever watched here on KZbin in 2017. Greetings from Manila, Philippines. 🎉

[@TikiTrex]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@jonathancrane13]

Literally seeing this in my YT notifications got me on here tonight. Tiki was one of my early fave YT content creators. This was a great little bite-sized video- cool, informative tour featuring some great interior design, historical items, and architecture. The ambient music running through the background adds an ethereal atmosphere. And of course Tiki's voice is so pleasant, which makes for such relaxing videos overall. I'm so glad I caught this today.

[@TikiTrex]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@MrUranium238]

Having those cubical pews seem so antisocial ....

[@TikiTrex]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@ClarenceJones-ev2tc]

Odd that a church would disband because it got too big obviously not a problem in the USA though

[@TikiTrex]

There was a larger Anglican Church in town to accommodate more of the parishioners so they didn’t disband. They just consolidated them all to the larger one and didn’t have services here anymore after 1877.

Hi Craig! It really has. You take care too, my friend.

[@natomblin]

Odd that the larger cubicles have benches facing away from thr front.

[@excrono]

Without knowing the denomination and style of worship (which would point to their purpose), this congregation was growing with expansions eventually outgrowing the building. Those renovations may have resulted in a disorganized layout to accommodate available space as new cubicles were added, such as if they had to be modified to fit the existing furniture fabricated by different furnituremakers. Back in the day, things were more ad-hoc.

[@laurelb4173]

Beautiful church! Great research and information! Thank you for the tour!
