The village of Hensell owes its existence to three enterprising brothers from England, George, John and James Petty, who called it Hensell after the Yorkshire village from which they had come in the year 1854. The Church of England, the first place of worship in Hensall, was built in 1877, before the erection of the railroad station, and a year prior to the establishment of the Post Office. John Petty, with William Wilson and Cornelius ,Purdy, formed a building committee. The building, then without a basement, was built by pioneer workmanship combined with "Old Country" architecture. The opening service which was also the first public service of the Church of England in Hensall, was held on Sunday, June 10, 1877, and was an out-station of Exeter under the rectorship of the Reverend Francis Ryan. The Dean of Huron, the very Rev. Michael Boomer, preached at the 11 a.m. service of Holy Communion. In the afternoon the preacher was the. Rev. John Gemmel, the assistant eat the Cathedral in London. The rector, Mr. Ryan, conducted the evening service. Attendance reached almost to the 1,000 mark for the day's services — 300 in the morning, 350 in the afternoon and 325 in the evening. The choir from Christ Church, Exeter, assisted at all three services. The first Vestry meeting after the opening of the Church was held on Monday, June 25, 1877, with Mr. Ryan in the chair. Present were Messrs. John Petty, Richard Reynolds, Sidney Fanbaur, Cornelius Purdy, George Deitch, Francis Armstrong, S. T. Jackson and It Harris. On motion of Reynolds and Jackson it was agreed to call the Church "St. Paul's," The first confirmation service was held on December 16, 1877, by Bishop Isaac Hellman when 65 persons were present. In August 1879 the parishioners or Hensel! and Exeter presented their minister, the Rev. E. J. Robinson, with a horse. It is evident that there Wes no debt on the Church building by the middle of August 1880 as Bishop Alford consecrated the Church and conducted a Confirmation Service on the 15th. As well he presented to the Church a set Of communion silver. • A CHANGE IN STATUS Starting on the first Sunday hi May 1886 the Church in Hensall was separated from Exeter arid became the headquarters of a new mission Which included Staffa and Dublin. The Rev. 8, H. Parr Was the last of the clergy to occupy the Rectory in Hensall. When he left in 1936 Hensall and Exeter were reunited under the Rev. M, A. Hunk. And so it has continued to the present. From July 1, 1892, to July, 1894, when the Rev. K. Softley was Rector the choir seats were installed, also a Lectern and kneeling benches, A set of silver-plated offering plates was presented by Mr. H. Arnold. The 'church was calcimined. The Women's Auxiliary was formed with the inaugural meeting held on January 9, 1893, at the home of Mrs. George C. Petty. The Church Endeavor Society for men was also begun with the Rector, Mr. Softley, as president and J. F. Clausen, vice-president. A long incumbency began when a student from Huron College, We J, Doherty, came to Hensel!. He was ordained deacon, then priest and later became secretary-treasurer of the diocese. He was in charge of Hensall and Staffa from December 1898 to 1916. Following in fairly quick succession from then were the Reverends W. H. Moore, J. H. McLeod and A. R. E. Garrett. It was under Garrett's leadership that a Rectory was purchased on Oxford Street in 1919. A longer tenure began in January 1922 when the Rev, Herbert Naylor came. He remained until August 1927. At Easter 1922 the choir wore vestiments for the first time, and during that summer the Church was raised and a basement built to provide a place for a furnace and a Sunday School room. This replaced the quaint little "Mission Hall" which had stood to the right of the Church. It was renowned for its beauty, if somewhat Cramped , social gatherings. The new basement was dedicated on August 20, 1922, by Archbishop Williams. In September 1922 new furnaces were installed in both the Church basement and the Rectory. A number of gifts to the Church were presented and dedicated on Easter Sunday, 1923 — a Bible for the Lectern, two Missal stands, a brass Alms basin, two Alter Prayer Books and a set of Communion vessels. The Chancel window, provided by the heirs of the Petty estate, was dedicated on December 21, 1924, in memory of the first Petty brothers, Tile Church was redecorated before its 50th . Anniversary Which was held on June 26, 1927, Archbishop Williams preached and held a Confirmation Service in the morning and Archdeacon Doherty preached at the evening service. On November 18, 1934, the brass Lectern was presented by members of the family of the late John and Ann Petty. The Rev. Mr. Naylor was succeeded in 1927 by the Rev. T. W. Jones, father of the present Rector of St. James Westminster London. He left at the end of May 1929 when his successor was the Rev. T. M. B, Parker. The sum of $150 was borrowed in 1933 so that the Church roof could be shingled. The last Rector of the separate parish of Hensall and Staffa was the Rev, B. H. Farr. Grace Church, Staffa, was closed early in 1936 and on July 1 the original arrangement of Hensell being aligned with Exeter was resumed. The Rev. M. A. Hunt was the Rector of Exeter at that time. During 1988 brass vases in memory of Mary Johnstone were presented by her sister, Emaline. The Rectory was sold in 1947 as the Rector now lived in Exeter Rectory. The Reverend Hunt of Exeter and Hensell exchanged parishes with the Rev. C. L. Langford of Mitchell on June 15, 1947. Mr. Langford remained until his retirement in October 1953. As 1952 marked the Church's 75th Anniversary a committee was appointed to have it redecorated. The members consisted of J. Henderson, W. Riley, R. Middleton and W. Evans. On January 1, 1954, Mr. Langford was succeeded by the Rev. H. D. Knox who stayed until May 1958. The next Rector was Dutch born Bren de Vrers who came in May 1958 and remained until June 1963. Early in 1963 fire damaged the west side of the roof and the Vestry room. In 1964 the present church sign board was elected by Frank Forest and Ted Roberts. The Rector and Mr. Roberts were • authorized to arrange for the rewiring of the Church. Miss Jean Henderson Was the first person from St. Paul's to serve the Church in a mission field. She taught in an Indian school in British Columbia, and she donated $80.00 for the purchase of an Altar Book and a desk Prayer Book. These were dedicated on All Saints Day Novembet 1, 1964, and on December 1 the Processional Cross was dedicated to the memory, of Louis Clark, the gift of his wife. Brass candlesticks were presented, around that time, by Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin. The large framed picture which hangs behind the pulpit was presented by Mrs. Margaret Aldwinkle and her family in January of 1966. And a beautiful new carpet costing approximately $550 Was installed also in 1966, during the tenure of the Rev. Philip Ganden. He Wee'eucceeded by the Rev. It A. Seeginillar who left at the end Of 1968 to return to Halifax, Neva Scotia: The present Rector, the Rev. George Andersen., began his ministry in Hensall and Esteter on January 15,1969.
