  • Nineteenth-Century Churches in Prince Edward Island and Their Place in the Gothic Revival
    ANALYSIS I ANALYSE NINETEENTH-CENTURY CHURCHES IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND AND THEIR PLACE IN THE GOTHIC REVIVAL P1' ofessor Ma lcolm rl1ur!by, Ph.D F S A . >MALCOLM THURLBY 1 teaches r-nedi eval art and ar~cflitect:LH' e , and Canadian Bl'Ch!teCLLwe in the Oepar,trnent of Visual Arts. York University . His latest book, Rornonesque Architecture and Sculpture in !!Vales, was published by Loga,;ton P1·ess , Almeley INTRODUCTION fH er efol'dShll'el. 111 ,June 2006. The nineteenth-century churches of Prince Edward Island are relatively well known thanks to the publications of H.M. Scott Smith, Canon Robert Tuck, and Father Art O'Shea. 2 Smith provides a useful starting point for any study of the churches on t he Island. Yet there are some strange omis­ sions from his books, not least of which are three churches in Charlottetown. First, there is the monumental, one thousand two hundred-seater Trinity Wesleyan Methodist (now United) Church, built in 1863-1864; then, St. Peter's Anglican Cathedral, 1867-1869, and St. James Old Kirk, 1877, both by David Stirling (1822- 1887), one of the most accomplished nineteenth-century architects in the Atlantic provinces. William Critchlow Harris (1854-1913), who apprenticed with Stirling from 1870 to 1875, was respon ­ sible for a large number of churches in Prince Ed ward Island, all of which are carefully documented by Robert Tuck. Art O'Shea provides a com prehensive over­ view of Roman Catholic churches in Prince Ed ward Island, complete w ith excellent colour photographs. This paper builds on the work of these authors to inves­ tigate the nineteenth-century churches of Prince Ed ward Island in the context of the Gothic Revival in Canada, Britain, and the United States.
