Edward Ellis, who had settled in Puslinch in 1839, donated one acer of his land to Trustees of the the Sterling Congregation of the Weslyan Methodist Church. 
This Ellis Chapel was erected here in 1861 through devoted community effort & for many years church services and a non denominational Sunday School was held here.
The men and woman who built this chapel Tediously stone by stone with their own hands gave of their time, Which might have been used to better their farms , gave of their meager means even though it meant doing without - in firm belief that "man does not live by bread alone " and that the spiritual need of their & of succeeding generations might be ministered unto and nurtured here.
By our efforts we earnestly pray that we may ever keep before ourselves and others, the Faith of our Fathers" That the Chapel many not fall into ruin , instead be a heritage & remain a place of beauty, of which we might be justly proud.
