In the late 1700s those of the Methodist persuasion in Tryon met for services in homes of the faithful, ministered to by the Rev. Bulpit of the Charlottetown circuit. In 1817 the first log chapel was built at Tryon on land owned (and transferred to the Church in 1819) by John Lord. Bedeque, Tryon, and Crapaud separated from Charlottetown to become a separate circuit in the same year. In 1839 the second church was built on the same site as the present church. The year 1873 marked the division of the circuit into the two circuits of Bedeque and Tryon. This was quickly followed in 1881 by the building of a new church designed by William Critchlow Harris which opened formally in October 1882. With the amalgamation of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches in the area in 1925 the Tryon Methodist Church became part of the United Church of Canada. In 1968 the Tryon United Church pastoral charge united with the Hampton charge to become the Tryon/Hampton pastoral charge of the United Church. In 1969 the Crapaud United Church congregation began to worship at the Tryon United Church.

Arrangement

Because of their time frame the records in this series could equally as well have been placed in Series 4 and 6 but as they are the records of the Tryon United Church rather than the pastoral charge it seemed more appropriate to keep them together and maintain the chronological continuity
