L'Eglise anglicane Saint Andrew's
V
ers 1784, les premiers Loyalistes (citoyens restés fidèles à la couronne britannique après l'indépendance américaine) viennent s'installer sur les côtes de la Baie des Chaleurs.
Au début, les offices religieux sont célébrés dans un établissement de bois rond sise sur les terres communales, au bas de la rue Church.
À la fin du XVIIe siècle, les premiers missionnaires itinérants sont envoyés par l'Église d'Écosse et, en 1801, le premier pasteur anglican s'établit à New Carlisle.
Vers 1820, on procède à l'instauration officielle de la religion anglicane, on ouvre le premier registre, c'est alors qu'on projette de bâtir une église sur la rue Main.
Les travaux ont commencé entre 1824 et 1826. Selon les lois anglicanes, la dette doit être entièrement remboursée pour que l'église soit consacrée. La cérémonie aura lieu le 31 juillet 1856. Cet édifice sera démoli en 1894.
Une nouvelle église est alors construite sur le même site, un peu plus au sud. Ses lignes perpendiculaires sont inspirées de l'architecture anglaise, sa façade est orientée à l'ouest et sa tour carrée



centrale est garnie de flèches aux angles. Elle est consacrée en 1897.
Au cimetière, on retrouve les pierres tombales de certains notables: William Sheppard et son fils Martin, shérifs pendant un siècle; le colonel Isaac Mann, juge des plaidoyers communs; W.R. Le Boutillier Fauvel et John Robinson Hamilton tous deux députés; Charles R. Scoles, surintendant de la compagnie ferroviaire Québec Oriental et le réverend George Milne.

L
es communautés anglophones du Québec ont toujours porté un attachment et un respect particuliers à leur histoire et à leur patrimoine. Les efforts déployés par la communauté de New Carlisle en septembre 1923 en font foi.

Saint Andrew's Anglican Church
T
he majority of the Loyalists who came to New Carlisle in 1784 were of the Anglican faith. It is believed that their first chapel was a log cabin on the commons at the bottom of Church Street. Missionaries were sent by the Church of England and, in 1801, the first Anglican minister was appointed to New Carlisle. Members of other denominations attended this church.
Around 1820, the Anglican faith was officially recognized and the first registers were kept. It was at this point that consideration was given to building a church on Main Street.
It took from 1824 to 1826 to build this new church, but the consecration was not held until July



31, 1856, at which date the debt was paid off. This building was demolished in 1894 as a new church had been built on the same lot directly south of the location of the previous building. Its architecture was inspired by the perpendicular English style, particularly the windows. The church faces west and the square central tower corners are decorated by arrows. Consecration of this new church was held in 1897.
In the cemetery there are tombstones of several notable people: William Sheppard and his son Martin who were sheriffs for nearly a century; Colonel Isaac Mann, court judge; W. R. LeBoutillier Fauvel and John Robinson Hamilton, both members of parliament; Charles R. Scoles, Superintendent of the Quebec Oriental Railway, and the Reverend George Milne.

T
he English communities of Quebec have always had a special attachment to, and respect for their history and heritage. New Carlisle's efforts in 1923 are a good example.
