Restoration and Preservation

Hallowed Grounds Café has undergone some changes this season moving to the Rectory's large Front Porch, complete with a new sign.

Sheltered by the porch roof and large lilac bushes, our Barista is ready to serve beverages and snacks to Visitors.

On inclement weather days, the Café is now easily moved indoors to the Rectory.

The improvements at St. Alban's Centre continue this season.

New signage has been created for the Café at Hallowed Grounds new location on the Rectory Front Porch, as well as a new Book Room sign, and the Used Books sign has been improved as well.

A shout out to the Volunteers who are making this happen.

The Old 1690 'Bristol Bell' was refurbished by Queen's University & the new Display Stand was designed & constructed by Mr. Ron Reynolds from two surplus St. Alban pews. The Queen's report is attached as part of the Bell Display. The 'Old Bristol Bell' is believed to be one of the oldest bells in Canada & the earliest call to worship bell in Upper Canada.
