St. Barnaby’s Church

St. Barnaby’s Church and Cemetery is located on an approximately 3-hectare parcel on the east side of the road in the hamlet of Brewers Mills. It contains a single-storey rectangular-plan sandstone church, built in 1873, and a single-storey sandstone vault with a cruciform facade, all surrounded by a cemetery. The church building is a representative example of a late 19th century rural church with Gothic influences and a rare example in Kingston for its use of sandstone. The property displays a high degree of craftsmanship particularly with its prominent central tower and mature tree-lined driveway leading to the church’s main doors. St. Barnaby’s has direct association with the Roman Catholic Church in the Brewers Mills area and has been a landmark in the community for over 150 years. Heritage attributes include the two sandstone buildings (church and vault), the grave markers and mature tree plantings lining a central driveway.
