Administrative history
In 1870, land for a church in Wakefield was obtained from Dame Sarah McTaggart and in two years, the Church of the Good Shepherd was built just outside the village. The church was consecrated by the Right Rev. Ashton Oxenden on Sept 21, 1873. By 1920, a new Church of the Good Shepherd, Wakefield was being built to replace the old frame church. Repairs were made to the church roof in 1996. In February of 2000, the congregations of Holy Trinity, Lascelles and the Church of the Good Shepherd, Wakefield were amalgamated with special services held at the former church and regular services at the latter. The Church of the Good Shepherd is currently part of the parish of Wakefield-Chelsea-Lascelles.
