At a Parish meeting on March 29, 1880 it was moved by William Hapgood and seconded 
     
    
   
   
    
     by Thomas Dougherty that the building committee sell the old parsonage house at public auction. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Pictured above is the second parsonage to be erected on the parsonage farm. It was the 
     
     home of rectors R.T. Dobie, H.P. Higgenson, T.B. Reach, Henry Harper, and Rev. J.J. 
     
     Bamford. The latter had the honor of being the first resident of the present rectory adjacent to 
     
     St. James’ Church. When this third rectory was completed in 1915, the parsonage farm was 
     
     sold to Hugh Maynard for $2725. It was later purchased by Hatfield and Marguerite Maynard. 
     
     Today the "second" rectory is the home of Rev. and Mrs. John Montgomery. Rev. Montgomery 
     
     was rector of Port Hill Parish during the years 1974-1977. 
     
    

    
     Along with the two rectories built on the parsonage farm, it is believed that a small 
     
     church was erected there several years ago. According to a Port Hill resident, Mr. Collingwood 
     
     Yeo (1873—1966), this community had had a church which was in ruins when he was a boy. A 
     
    
   
   
    
     field on the farm, known as the "church field", was quite likely the location of this first church 
     
    
   
   
    
     of the Parish of Port Hill.
