After the Diocese of Huron’s first bishop Benjamin Cronyn died in 1871, his family and friends erected the Memorial Church in 1873 in London, Ontario. Services in the parish had been begun in 1860 and the congregation had bought an existing church building, naming it St George’s, in 1870.

There was continuing involvement in the church by Bishop Cronyn’s descendents including installing a new bell in the church tower in 1938 in memory of his grandson and installing a window in 1949 in memory of his great grandson. The parish officially adopted the name of Bishop Cronyn Memorial Church in 1955.

St Alban’s Website

Every Sunday morning the church has Holy Eucharist at 8:30; Holy Eucharist/Contemporary Morning Prayer at 10:30

Saint Alban was the first maytr of Britain in about 304; a pagan soldier in the Roman Army stationed in what is now St Albans, Herefordshire. A cleric fleeing for his life took refuge in Alban’s house. Alban sheltered him, and after some days, moved by his example, became a Christian. Later, when the governor sent soldiers to search the house, Alban disguised himself in the cloak of his guest and gave himself up in his place. He was brought before the governor and when he would not deny his faith, condemned to death.
