    Administrative history

    Leeds United Church, initially of Presbyterian denomination, was organized in 1854. Until 1882, the Leeds Congregation had three preaching points: Leeds Village, Lemesurier (Reid's Presbyterian Church) and Kinnear's Mills (Candlish Presbyterian Church). From 1881 to 1912, Leeds Presbyterian Church was joined with St. Sylvester Presbyterian Church. When this Church closed in 1912, Leeds Presbyterian Church decided to form a union with Reid's Presbyterian Church in Lemesurier and Candlish Presbyterian Church in Kinnear's Mills. They shared the services of one minister. In 1925, when the United Church of Canada was founded, amalgamating the Congregational, Methodist, and Presbyterian Churches, Leeds Presbyterian Church decided to join the Union. Leeds United Church closed in the 1940s and the church building was demolished in 1949.

    Custodial history

    For many years, the archives of Leeds United Church were kept with the records of Candlish United Church in Kinnear's Mills. They were transferred to the archives in 1999.
