1. St. Paul's Anglican Church

According to the Beckett's Landing Community Association (BLCA), the original church for this congregation was a wooden structure built in the mid-1800's and which subsequently burned down in 1906, when this replacement was built. This church was deconsecrated in June 2008.

The BLCA was originally formed to oppose the closure of the Church and to then ensure it wasn't transformed into something where it's historical charm would be lost. The preference would seem to have been a community hall. They seem to have been partially successful as it has sat empty ever since, although it certainly isn't a community hall (or anything else really). The pioneer cemetery is still active.

2. Hwy 44 - I'm not sure what.

I have no idea what this was. It could have been a school, an apartment complex, a motel, a home for the aged.... It has recently been used as storage for, well, everything. Drove past it frequently and finally stopped to take a look. Accessible, seemingly structurally sound but with a lot of standing water inside. LOTS of items.

3. North Rideau Methodist Cemetery

All graves are from the 1870's, 1880s and 1890s. According to Who’s Where, A Guide to the Cemeteries of Rideau Township, by Jim Kennedy, there was a church here that was built in 1876 which was destroyed during the 1930s. I found no remnants of that structure. Family names were Fee, Donoly, Chruch, Harris, Henderson, Maxon, Morton, Ross, Taylor, Paden, Weedmark and Wiggins.

Some the stones were damaged and have been repaired, so, this may not be completely "abandoned".
