St. Peter's Anglican church was originally built in 1838 and consecrated in 1840. It is one of the oldest surviving wooden churches still in continuous use in New Brunswick. Black families from the Spring Hill area were very involved in the church from the beginning, making up about a third of the congregation. They served the church as sextons, members of the choir and gravediggers. The Leek family was among the first Blacks in the area to help build and maintain St. Peter's Anglican Church. George Leek worked on the structure with his sons George Jr. and William. George Jr. served for many years as Sexton of the Church. This contribution to the church is reflected in its stained glass windows. (Stained glass photo courtesy of Frank Morehouse)
