Constructed in 1916, the United Church is located approximately south-west of
Carlyle. The initial funding to build the church came from community donations and a $1,500 loan at 8% interest from John Hewitt. When he died in 1927, the balance of the loan was cancelled. The cemetery was established two years after the completion of the church, in 1918. The cemetery is the final resting place for many of the early settlers. The first wedding there was between Tom Cook and Isabel Wallace and was officiated by Reverend F.B. Ball
On 5 March 1991, the church and cemetery were designated a Municipal Heritage Resource and on 10 August, they were added to the
Register for Canada's Historic Places.
