Registry Office

The current Registry Office was built in 1951-1952, on land that had been leased by the Woodstock Lawn Bowling Club. Inadequate space for the records and a need for more and better furnishings for staff and persons searching titles and examining documents led to its construction.

All records affecting title to land including deeds, mortgages, and wills, are stored in the registry office.

Effective 1 January 1968, the Province of Ontario took over the Administration of Justice, including all Registry Office operations. Since that date, this building has been rented from the County of Oxford. Registry Office Staff continue to register ownership of property and to maintain the records for posterity.
