St. John’s Anglican Church is located at 12125 Yonge Street, between 19th Avenue and the Stouffville Sideroad. The church itself, erected as a frame building in 1848 and now brick-clad, is the oldest church edifice in Richmond Hill. On the grounds is an historical marker commemorating the de Puisaye settlement of Windham, founded in 1799 by a group of exiled French royalists and abandoned in 1806. Many of the older markers have been gathered together close to the church building in the "pioneer frame." Notable burials include:
