Fort Langley Cemetery

Located at 23105 St. Andrew's Street, this historic cemetery was created in 1884. This was the first municipal cemetery established in Fort Langley, and is the resting place of many of the area's pioneer families. The first burial was Robert Mackie, father of the municipality's first Warden. Separate sections of the cemetery were reserved for First Nations people and for Canadian War Veterans. Many of the granite and marble monuments are elaborately carved and decorated, and several gravesites are surrounded by wrought iron fences. In conjunction with an early landscape plan now in full maturity, it remains a site of peace and beauty. To the north side of the cemetery is a granite First World War memorial to the fallen men of the Langley district which was later rededicated to the memory of those who served in the Second World War.

Saint Andrew's Presbyterian (United) Church

The site of this church in Fort Langley was donated by James Mackie, Langley's first Warden. The plans for the church were provided by H. Hoy of New Westminster, and it was built by contractor Thomas Turnbull for a total cost of about $1,000. The original structure was 22 by 40 feet, and held 150 people. The dedication was held on Sunday, September 27, 1885 with Reverend Robert Jamieson and Reverend Alexander Dunn officiating. Although not part of the original plans, the tower and belfry were added during the course of construction, with the cost defrayed by Henry Wark. The bell was formerly used by the HBC steamboat "The Beaver". The bell and bell tower were damaged by a fire in 1970 and the original bell was replaced. This is the oldest church in continuous use in B.C. Originally a Presbyterian church, it became a United Church following church union (the union of the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregationalist churches of Canada to form the United Church of Canada).
