In dire need of their own parish, Reeve Patrick Mee wrote to Rt. Rev. Michael Power, Bishop of the Diocese of Kingston (which oversaw all of Ontario at that time), requesting land for a rectory, church and cemetery. Approval was obtained in 1849, and construction began on four acres of land. This white framed church served the area well from 1849-1904. Before parishes were established in Strathroy and Watford, St. Patrick's Church served all of Adelaide and Metcalfe and some families traveled great distances over very rough roads.

In 1833, church services were performed in a log schoolhouse. A frame building, which included a rectory, was built later that year. The little church stood on blocks, facing north, and it was not until seven years later that pews and pulpits were completed. In 1868, St. Ann's was destroyed in a windstorm, and the construction of a new brick church was begun that same year. In 1938, an oak tree was brought from Windsor Castle in England to commemorate the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The tree died in 1996.

The S.S. # 3 Metcalfe School at Napier was a one room schoolhouse built in 1900. Tales were told of many seeing wolves, bears and snakes on their way to school. Children used slates with wooden frames and slate pencils. Ink was made from walnut bark with alcohol added. Ink containers were stone or crock bottles. Many teachers taught in the schoolhouse throughout the years. In August 1941, a tornado ripped through the area and removed the roof, gable ends and belltower. Children attended school in the Township Hall until repairs were completed. Maple trees surrounding the school yard were planted by the pupils of each graduating class. Most of these trees are still standing in 2007.

Before this church was built, they worshipped in the home of J.G. Sutherland. Mr. Sutherland donated the site for the future church. The brick used for the church was made and donated by Thomas Mackey.

St. Mary's Anglican Church remains a monument of the pioneer settlers from this region, many of whom lie buried in the churchyard. The first burial recorded was Captain Caldwell on March 24, 1841. This is the oldest church still standing in Middlesex County. According to records in England, the church was built in 1841, however, a plaque on the church incorrectly dates construction as 1843.
