On Route 635 in Magundy, New Brunswick stands an old graveyard with no church in sight. It is the site of the former St. Johns Anglican Church which was removed around 1896 due to deterioration.
Constuction of the church began in 1842 then consecrated in 1853 by Bishop Medley. When dismantled, the usable lumber was salvaged and taken to Harvey to build a store.
After the church was gone, the accompanying graveyard became overgrown, then rescued in the 1960s. A plaque commemorating the original Magundy settlers was erected in the 1970s.
