Chalmers Wesley United Church in Quebec City for Weathervane Wednesday

 This weathervane was photographed in Quebec City, Canada.



The Chalmers Wesley United Church is located on 78 Rue Sainte-Ursule, in Old Quebec City, Canada.  It is between Porte Saint Louis and the citadel.  This protestant, English language church was built between 1851 and 1853, and in 1925 became part of the United Church of Canada. 

Like most protestant churches, their weathervane is very simple.  It is a an arrow with no cardinal points. It was very difficult to photograph the church because of the narrow streets, but we did get some nice photos of the weathervane from many blocks away.  Most of the Roman Catholic churches in Quebec City featured weathercocks or more elaborate weathervanes.
