The Province's registration record
Reason for registration
that the early date of its erection of 1832 makes it among the oldest of the few remaining small meeting houses in the Province; and because it has been continuously in use for church services and remains little altered either in the interior or on the exterior.
Character-defining elements
Character-defining elements of the Port Medway Meeting House relate to its relatively unaltered appearance and include:
- simple, unadorned façade;
- locally made and original iron work;
