St. Nicholas Anglican Church has a 177 year old history in Torbay. The construction of the first St. Nicholas Church started in 1819 by members of the local congregation - a job that took 8 years to complete. Finally, on July 10, 1827, the church and its graveyard, located behind the church, were consecrated by Bishop John Inglis.
The Church served the people of Torbay for 99 years, until May 16, 1926, when plans for a new church had already began.
