St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church, Gothic Revival church in New Edinburgh, Canada
Description
St. Bartholomew's is a stone church building in Gothic Revival style featuring tall pointed windows, soaring arches, and intricately detailed stonework throughout its exterior. The interior layout incorporates similar architectural elements that extend the design language found outside.
History
The church was designed by Thomas Seaton Scott in 1868 and established Anglican worship in the developing New Edinburgh neighborhood during that period. It remains a designated heritage property under provincial protection.
Culture
The building serves as the regimental chapel for the Governor General's Foot Guards and continues to welcome members of Canada's government. Its role in this capacity shapes how the community uses and experiences the space today.
Practical
The building hosts regular Sunday services with rotating liturgical traditions offered throughout the week. Visitors should verify times in advance and dress respectfully when attending services or viewing the interior.
