History

Timothy Irving Frederick Findley was a novelist and playwright. He wrote a memoir, From Stone Orchard, about his experiences living at a farm on the outskirts of Cannington.

He lived for over 30 years at his cottage, Stone Orchard, near Cannington, Ontario. But in the mid-1990s, he moved to Stratford, Ontario, and divided his time between there and France. He died in Provence in 2002.

Visit Timothy Findley Memorial Branch of the Brock Township Public Library.
