Grace Church has survived more than 300 years of
war, political calamity, and fire. The building itself lay in ruins
for much of the 19th century. Between 1795 and 1920 there were long
periods when only part-time clergy ministered here. At present,
we are now in a time when our membership is higher than it ever
has been, when we have completed an addition to the parish hall,
and when we have commissioned plans for the reattachment of a north
wing to the church.
