A tranquil tree-lined site along Highway 449 in the Rural Municipality of Victoria was the original location of St. Matthews Anglican Church. Designed by Holland architect Andrew W. Maxwell and built in 1900 by R. Lee, the last service was held on 13 October 1956. The building was moved to Treherne in 1960 where it became the Parish Hall for St. Mark’s Anglican Church. A commemorative marker, dedicated on 23 August 1964, stands near the cemetery gate.
