PHOTO ESSAY: The skinny churches of the Eastern Townships

Church of St. Aiden, Sutton Junction, Quebec

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher  |  The distinguishing feature of many churches in Quebec’s Eastern Townships seems to be that they’re skinny with tall steeples that accentuate their comparatively diminutive width.  

Inside, these simple churches have 15 to 20 pews and can hold, we guess, up to 100 people when packed.  Here are a few that we spied on a recent visit. Enjoy:

St. Patrick’s Anglican Church, Bolton Center, Quebec.

Calvary Church, now an art center, Sutton, Quebec.

St. Austin’s, Austin, Quebec

St. Edward’s, Knowlton, Quebec.
