Construction of this church in Binscarth, in what is now the Municipality of Russell-Binscarth, started in 1897, with the first vestry meeting held in April 1898. The chancel and tower were built in 1910. The 300-pound bell, brought from St. John’s Church at Millwood, was installed in 1952. Further renovations have been made through the years.
