All Saints Anglican Church

The All Saints Anglican Church is located on the south side of the New Ross Road, Leminster, Nova Scotia, which connects Highways 12 and 14. The building and cemetery are included in the municipal designation.

The All Saints Anglican Church is valued for its role as a church and focal point in the community of Leminster as well as a good representation of Gothic Revival architecture.

The simple wood frame church was built in 1871 and has served the community since that time. The unsymmetrical placement of the belltower distinguishes All Saints from many churches of the same period in Hants County. It also has an open belfry which is more common among Lunenburg County Churches.
