When we stand in the graveyard at Christ Church we can see a row of four small tombstones with a cross on top. On closer examination we see by the fading inscriptions on the stones that they tell a story of very early days in Lakefield in the late 1800's when life was harsh. These four tombstones mark the graves of four young children.

Historical Christ Church is open as a museum to the public daily in July and August. However, Christ Church is also used for for a variety of special events, concerts, and group tours.  

This beautiful stone church with its aesthetic setting on the main street of Lakefield overlooking Katchewanooka Lake is an ideal place for a small wedding. For more information: 

The Christ Church Community Museum Committee was formed in 1997 with a mandate to restore Christ Church (as the building had deteriorated badly), expand its small museum beyond the Strickland family era, and to restore the 1855 Christ Church burial ground.  Many volunteers from St. John’s and the community have helped to achieve this goal by acting as museum guides, doing research for historical displays and educational programs, creating historical displays, organizing fundraising events and carrying out the ongoing restoration work.
