Drummond Methodist Church

Drummond Methodist Church

The Drummond Methodist Church was constructed in 1898 on what is now known as Robertson Road, using some of the stone from the demolished Union Church on Richmond Road.[1] In 1925 it became the United Church and was used until 1962 when the new United Church was completed.[2] Today the building houses "The Spa".[3] It is one of the oldest buildings in Bells Corners.

The Union Church had been built in 1853 by the Anglicans, Methodists and Presbyterians on land donated by Hugh Bell (part of lot 35, concession 1) in Bells Corners on the present site of the Bells Corners Union Cemetery.[4] It was the only building to survive the great fire of 1870. The Rev. John L. Gourlay, writing in his book "The History of the Ottawa Valley", said "The old stone church (Presbyterian) seems to have been all that escaped the fire. The people took refuge in it, and held it some days till they made provision for building again.... The church was a union of Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Methodists."[5]
