Administrative history
Between 1818 and 1842 the Anglican congregation of Bideford/Port Hill received irregular services provided by the rectors of St. Eleanor's including Rev. L.C. Jenkins who recorded a congregation of over 80 persons at Bideford on 1 July 1825. Services were conducted in a private home until 1841 when a church was erected and Rev. William Roche was appointed as resident minister. Roche lived in Charlottetown however as there was no rectory and remained for only a year. The new church was consecrated by the Bishop on 23 June 1843 and named St. James. In 1846 W. H. Cooper was appointed to the mission, followed by Henry B. Swabey in 1853, the first of a consistent string of resident ministers. A stone rectory was built in 1855 but proved unsatisfactory and was replaced in 1877. A new church was built in 1885
The Port Hill parish drew communicants from Lots 1-6 and 11-16 and included the churches of St. John at Bideford/Ellerslie and St. Peter's at Lot 11. The former was in a dilapidated condition in 1891 and a new church with a frame by Edward England and details by "Little" Harry Williams, noted Island craftsman, was built and consecrated by the Bishop on 1 July 1900. Sometime after 1909 a new church was also built in Lot 11. All three congregations existed until at least the 1970s and in 2004 St. John's is still a place of worship.
