The church was rebuilt in 1882 and renamed Bloomsbury Methodist Church. It operated until 1915, when it was dismantled and moved to Hollen, a town on the Conestogo River, {{convert|12|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of Creek Bank.[3] An extant cemetery located near the former church has graves dating to the 1850s. The gravestones were assembled into a cairn in 1837, and a historical marker is located there.[6][7] Creek Bank had a population of about 75 in 1867, and a blacksmith shop, hotel, and general store were located there. A stage coach passed twice daily between Elora and Hollen.[5] A school, Roman Catholic Separate School #6, was located at Creek Bank around 1870.[8] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web | title = Creek Bank | publisher = Natural Resources Canada | date = October 6, 2016 | url = http://www4.rncan.gc.ca/search-place-names/unique/FAUCX}} {{Wellington County}}2. ^{{cite web | title = Guelph/Eramosa | publisher = Statistics Canada | date = November 2, 2016 | url = http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p3VD.pl?Function=getVD&TVD=116940&CVD=116949&CPV=3523025&CST=01012011&CLV=4&MLV=4&db=IMDB}} 3. ^1 {{cite web | title = WLL4352 | publisher = Ontario Genealogical Society | url = https://www.ogs.on.ca/wellington/cemetery-info/4352.pdf | accessdate = April 4, 2017}} 4. ^1 {{cite web | title = Creek Bank | publisher = Library and Archives Canada | date = May 27, 2014 | url = http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/postal-heritage-philately/post-offices-postmasters/Pages/item.aspx?IdNumber=7037&}} 5. ^1 {{cite book | title = Gazetteer and Directory of the County Of Wellington, 1867 | publisher = Irwin & Burnham | year = 1867 | url = http://static.torontopubliclibrary.ca/da/pdfs/37131055373039d.pdf | pages = 89, 90}} 6. ^{{cite web | title = Creek Bank Methodist Cemetery | publisher = CanadaGenWeb's Cemetery Project | url = http://www.geneofun.on.ca/cems/ON/ONWGT14475?PHPSESSID=e2ac827819c07628efba513a0a105957 | accessdate = April 4, 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web | last = Krassoc | title = Bloomsbury Methodist Church – Wellington County, Ontario | publisher = Fadedgenes | date = January 8, 2015 | url = https://krassoc.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/bloomsbury-methodist-church-wellington-county-ontario/}} 8. ^{{cite book | last = Bloomfield | first = Elizabeth | title = Inventory of Primary and Archival Sources: Guelph and Wellington County to 1940 | publisher = Guelph Regional Project | year = 1989 | url = https://archive.org/stream/inventoryofprima00bloo/inventoryofprima00bloo_djvu.txt | pages = 129}} 1 : Communities in Wellington County, Ontario |
