Join us May 28th, 7 pm for a free tour of Knox United Church, Agincourt . The 175 year old church is located at the corner of Church Street (oops, Midland Avenue) and Main Street (uh oh, Sheppard Avenue), just north of the sawmill (oh no that’s long gone!)

Take this opportunity to discover:

  • the connection of this area with King Henry the V
    • what movie star is buried here
    • a tombstone competition
    • an unusual bank robbery
    • who was John Hill

Picture an area which esentially was fields, forests, streams, rivers and scattered settlements. Together let’s figure out what brought people together to create the Village of Agincourt.
