Josiah Henson and Dresden, Ontario
 A prominent figure in Dresden, Ontario's early history is the Rev Josiah Henson, a former slave from the U.S., who escaped to Canada in 1830. He founded the Dawn community near Dresden in 1834, and in 1841 helped established a vocational school in Dresden for former slaves. Henson, is reputed to have been the model for Uncle Tom in Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852). His 2-storey house, built around 1842, now forms part of the Uncle Tom's Cabin Museum, owned and operated by the province. Josiah Henson died in Dresden in 1883.
Anglican Rev. Thomas Hughes felt called to be a missionary to the escaped slaves and started his ministry in Dresden in June 1859, 24 years before Henson's death. Hughes youngest son, a boy of seven years, laid the cornerstone for Christ Church in 1867 years and the red brick building was finished in October 1868.
Since 2002, Christ Church, Dresden has been part of the 6-point Anglican Parish of the Transfiguration

Christ Church, Meaford, Ontario
 Meaford is in south central Ontario on Georgian Bay of Lake Huron.
The Anglican parish was established in 1856 and 5 years later built its first frame church. The present stone building was completed in 1876.
Christ Church, Meaford has 4 memorial windows made up of broken stained glass from English and other churches bombed during the Second World War.
Rev. Harold Appleyard, on leave from the parish, served as a chaplain to the Canadian Forces in southern England. He began collecting the broken glass and meticulously recorded where the shards and pieces came from. He took the glass to "Cox and Barnard Stained Glass Works" in Hove, near Brighton where the pieces were releaded into windows that would fit Christ Church. The work was done free of charge in gratitude for the Canadian war effort.
Shown is a fragment collected from Chichester Cathedral, West Sussex, England.
