Historic Sites of Manitoba: MacGregor United Church (12 Hampton Street, MacGregor, Municipality of North Norfolk)
This church in MacGregor, in the Municipality of North Norfolk, was built in 1959 to replace an earlier church located at the same site. The congregation was the first Union church in Manitoba, having resulted from the 1913 merger of two churches: St. Cuthbert's Presbyterian Church (established in 1882) and MacGregor Methodist Church (established in 1890).
Among the clerics who served as MacGregor United were Thomas Burridge Pearson and James L. Fargey (?-1961).
