Description of Property
Former "Enfield United Church", 1640 Concession Road 9 in Part Lot 31, Concession 9, former
Township of Darlington. Enfield United Church is a one-storey structure on the north side of
Concession Road 9, west of Enfield Road. The frame building incorporates simplistic
elements of the Gothic Revival style.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
The property's physical cultural heritage value lies in it being an excellent example of a rural
frame church in former Darlington Township in the mid to late nineteenth century. The one-
storey building includes simplistic elements of Gothic Revival including the pitched front gable
roof, central door, arched windows and arched transom window above the front door. Also of
note on the interior of the building are the pine coat rack, the original pine floor boards, the
pine constructed choir loft, the sponge grained wainscoting, and the choir bench.
The property's cultural heritage value lies in its association with Darlington Township's early
rural settlers, their way of life, the building materials and construction styles found during the
nineteenth century. The building was built in 1877 by the Methodist Episcopal Church and
became part of the United Church of Canada at church union in 1925. A painted inscription
above the front door reads "M.E.C. A.D. 1877". The building is typical of small rural churches
built in Darlington Township during the mid to late nineteenth century. The building is
considered to be the best surviving example of a small frame rural church in the former
Darlington Township.
The property's contextual cultural heritage value lies in its location within the rural landscape in
the hamlet of Enfield; it was a site of community importance and social gatherings in former
Darlington Township during the mid to late nineteenth century.
