Since 1857, congregations have been lovingly caring for Grace Anglican Church.<\/p>\n
The Gothic revival building, which consumes the corner of Albion, Pearl and West streets, was designed by prolific architect John Turner who, with a long list of the city\u2019s most iconic buildings to his credit, has been called the builder of Brantford.<\/p>\n
Some of the city\u2019s most prominent families helped established Grace church and worshipped there over the decades.<\/p>\n
And, much later, as congregations dwindled and neighbouring churches closed, they have been taken in by Grace, the Mother Church of Brantford.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s no longer just a place for Sunday worship, but for Girl Guide meetings, AA gatherings, a refuge for the hungry to get a meal, and a centre for those involved in various charity projects.<\/p>\n
But, when you\u2019re 163 years old, your age starts to show.<\/p>\n
