Notes
2022-06-26 - Trinity Anglican was built in 1840 and consecrated August 21, 1843 by John Inglis, Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia. The first organ was brought from England in 1845 and the present organ was installed in 1870. In 1959 the organ was overhauled by an organ builder from England. The choir and organist from Saint George’s Church, Moncton, came to Trinity for the rededication service. The chancel was enlarged in 1868, completely refitted in 1880 with a credence bracket, lectern, a new chancel carpet and a more appropriate Holy Table. Also in 1880 the women’s guild donated funds to erect a stone fence and a new bell, placed for Christmas that year, from Baltimore. The rector’s engineering son drafted the tower alterations and the parish men executed them. The bell performed a dual role; it called people to worship and alerted the town of any fires. -- church website
This organ may possibly be a rebuild of the 1845 organ. -Paul R. Marchesano
2024-11-19 - I found a newspaper article (The Times-Transcript, Moncton, September 18, 1999) that references the 1870 builder as Samuel R. Warren of Montreal.
