Chapter 122 And- in Matter of the Lands and Premises at the following Municipal address in the Province of Ontario NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corpora- tion of the Township of Biddulph intends to designate the property including lands and buildings, at the following municipal address as a property of architectural and historical value or interest under Part IV of The Ontario Heritage Act, 1974, S.O. Chapter 122. Municipal Address: St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, R.R. 3 Lucan, Ont. NOM 2J0 - Reasons for the Proposed Designation: ARCHITECTURALLY, St. Patrick's Church is a good example of Gothic Revival church design as erected in early pioneer days. It's plain ex- terior walls constructed of locally produced white brick are pleasantly relieved by perpen- dicular buttresses and slender Gothic windows. In contrast, the tall bold lines of the square brick tower topped by its lofty spire, lend strength to the frontal view of this house of worship. Incidentially, our present church is closely similar in architectural design and size to the first St. Peter's Cathedral built in 1854 in Lon- don and long since demolished to make way for the present Cathedral Basilica. ii. HISTORICALLY too, this ecclesiastical struc- ture is worthy of note. Built in 1858-1859 by Irish settlers who along with their neighbours were clearing the land in Biddulph and London Townships It became a focal point of divine worship, in good times and in bad, in times of rejoicing and tragedy, for the past century and a quarter. Any person may, within thirty days of the first publication of this notice, send by registered mail or deliver to the Clerk of the Township of Biddulph notice of his or her objection to the proposed designation together with a state- ment of the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts. If such a Notice of Objection is received, the Counr-il of the Corporation of the Township of Biddulph shall refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing.
