Church​

• The fire-damaged church building is leased from the United Church of Canada which has offered a new long-term lease to permit restoration. The community investment to recover the church for community use will now be secure for at least 50 years. This autumn, installation of stained-glass windows and the entrance doorway will proceed after heritage approvals are made by the Municipality of Port Hope.

• The recovery work is estimated to cost between $400,000 and $500,000. We are very thankful for our community, which has already contributed over $150,000 towards this project. Fundraising continues to raise money for restoring the church and other village buildings.

• As of July 2023, work has begun on the Oughtred reception area and visitors centre, and will include an accessible washroom. Soon we'll be welcoming you there!

• The major part of the Oughtred House is off-limits to the public. It is the private residence of our caretaker who provides the village with a watchful presence and regular care.

• Exterior restorations and renovations remain in-progress.
