Many of the immigrants settling within this area of the Township were of Anglican faith; they were visited by travelling missionaries until a church was constructed on this site in 1843.

The church was built in 1842 - 1843 through the subscription of the inhabitants in this area of the Township. It consisted of a 30' x 40' frame building without a stone foundation. The interior was not plastered. Regular services commenced on February 12th, 1843; by 1850 the church supported an enrolment of 150 and averaged 70 persons for the weekly service. Church members included many, now long-established, families including Doble, Ruddy, Fair, and St. John. The church was used until 1865 when a more centrally-located church (St. James, West Brock) was built two miles to the south.

The church building no longer exists; however, a number of tombstones exist within the associated cemetery (also referred to as the Thompson Cemetery). A total of 517 graves are within the cemetery the first of which was a G. Shier in 1834. The ownership of the cemetery was transferred to the former Township of Brock in 1971.
