From the local history book, from Scotch Broth and Irish Stew...... A History of Hibbert Township 1846-1996, Editor Dean Robinson, published by the Corporation Of Hibbert Township in 1996, on page 63, under Ministers of Cromarty Presbyterian Church, 1872 Rev. Peter Scott. The next minister is recorded for 1902 Rev. R. H. Cranston. <br /><br />At this point in history, the Cromarty church was a two point charge; one church in Cromarty, and the other church was named Roys Presbyterian Church in Fullarton Township. <br /><br />According to the account in the History of Hibbert Township, the manse was built in 1856 on the northwest corner of Donald Park's farm on Lot 5, Concession 11. <br /><br />"In 1878, the two congregations agreed to build a new manse in Cromarty, and a new brick building was erected in 1879, which is still used as a residence today. The manse comittee on the advice of Rev. Peter Scott, the minister in charge, erected a commodious and comfortable home. Rev. Scott had the foresight to plant well chosen trees around the grounds."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962555070411810506noreply@blogger.com
