Its steep pitched roof and lancet windows are typical of the style. A historic cemetery and a stone rectory, now the Manoir d'Irlande bed and breakfast, stand adjacent.
Designed by Montreal architects Louis Auguste Amos and Alfred Arthur Cox of Amos and Arthur, the church was built of wood between 1902 and 1904 by local craftsmen. In 2003 the Anglican Diocese of Montreal granted a 99-year lease to the Maple Grove Heritage Foundation, which began restoration, completing the stained glass windows first. The municipality of Irlande designated it a municipal heritage site on January 17, 2006.
The church is no longer active but remains consecrated and opens several times a year, including an August reunion that draws former residents back to Maple Grove. The adjacent cemetery is still in use and is maintained by the Maple Grove Anglican Cemetery Foundation, while the stone rectory now operates as a bed and breakfast called Manoir d'Irlande.
