This is a classic New England steeple with mounting for a single bell, topped by a small cross. Beneath the bell housing is a four-faced church clock with a black circular face with Roman numerals, minute markings and hands in gold. There appears to be no maker's name on the clock face.
Grace Church is now affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church, but was originally a Methodist Church. It was largely supported by the Sears family that settled this area, as is the Jacob Sears Memorial Library across the street.
