Next to this Anglican church in the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews is a miniature model built by the Petersen (Bell) family of Clandeboye in honour of the 100th anniversary of St. George’s Wakefield Anglican Church, unveiled on 6 November 2004.
A building adjacent to the church, used as a classroom, is the former Parkdale School No. 1927. Established in April 1918, the school operated until around 1959.
