The Winton Parish Of The Anglican Church

The Winton Parish Of The Anglican Church includes settlements sixty-two miles distant from Winton. There are churches at Ryal Bush, Dipton, Lumsden, Mossburn, Balfour and Riversdale, and services are regularly held at these places by the vicar of Winton, who is assisted by a curate and lay readers. The curate, the Rev. Duncan Rankin, was ordained deacon in September, 1904, and appointed assistant curate the same month. He resides at Balfour. Holy Trinity Church, Winton was built in 1869, and occupies a site of half an acre, on the great north road. The building is constructed of wood and iron, and has room for 150 worshippers. Services are held every Sunday, morning and evening. There is a Sunday school, with eighty children, in charge of eight teachers.
