St. Martin of Tours, Cumberland
This is St. Martin of Tours, it's a very small parish in Cumberland PEI, just south-west of Cornwall. Now it's more or less a mission of St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Cornwall, but it has it's own pastor who is also in charge or another small parish.
It is a very neat little church, built of all island sandstone.
It measures only 50' in length and 26' wide. It was consecrated by Bishop Peter McIntyre Nov. 11th 1868, and took one year to complete.The quarry that the stone came from was only about a quarter of a mile down the road.
