Dedicated to honour pioneers of Cannington Manor 1882- 1895
From Eastern Canada, Manitoba and Britain, they came to take up homesteads. Skilled craftsmen among them built the church, grist mill, village and the large establishments of the English colony.
The faith, endurance and neighborliness of these splendid men of all faiths, their wives, sons and daughters, laid the true foundation of the West.
In 1882, people from Britain, Ontario and other parts of the British Empire, began building this community based on Victorian customs. By 1890, Cannington Manor was a thriving village.
Over 15 buildings -- a church, store, hotel, flour mill, school, blacksmith and carpentry shops, stables and houses lined the streets.
Note that when Clementia Stewart died on October 11, 1889 in Carlyle, North-West Territories, Saskatchewan did not yet exist as a province.
Drought, low grain prices, the railway bypassing the community and the harsh reality of prairie agriculture ended their dreams.
By 1900, the village was abandoned.
Many moved to other locations in Canada, some went back to Britain, and a few remained.
Today, only the church and mill ruins remain of the original buildings.
Some have been reconstructed and the LeMesurier house have been moved to the park.
