Sanctuary

 Knox Presbyterian Church is downtown, and it is a regular feature for Doors Open. It was founded in 1844. The current church dates to 1932, but looks older. It blends Gothic and Norman influences in its architecture.


In a side room off the entrance hall, historical items of the church were found.


A peek out into the garden. The sanctuary is to the left, and one of the staircases ascending to the balcony is at right.


The sanctuary has these graceful arched columns. Most of the windows are translucent.


A look to the front of the church, and the main altar, with its beautiful stained glass.


Plaques are found at one corner before the altar.


They commemorate the congregation members who fought and died in both World Wars.


Colours of the 207th Battalion are here, placed here after the First World War.


The baptismal font and the pulpit are close by.


Across the way, another pulpit and a grand piano.
