ST. GEORGE IN THE PINES ANGLICAN CHURCH

ABOUT ST. GEORGE IN THE PINES ANGLICAN CHURCH

Conveniently located in the centre of downtown Banff, the historic St. George in the Pines Anglican Church remains as one of Bow Valley's greatest heritage properties.

Designed in the Gothic Revival-style by English architect F.P. Oakley, it is the oldest active church in Banff, with services being held as early as 1887.

The local landmark has also had many distinguished guests over the years. In 1897, The Duke and Duchess of York attended services; in 1901, the future Queen Mary worshipped here, followed by Edward, Prince of Wales in 1926. In 1939, King George VI and the future Queen Elizabeth II attended services, too, where they presented the church with sterling silver altar candlesticks as a memento.

St. George-in-the-Pines also possesses 50 stained glass windows depicting local flora and fauna, as well as 11 bells by John Taylor & Co, which were shipped from Loughborough, England, to Banff via the Panama Canal.
