context_page_description: St. Paul's Church is an evangelical Anglican church in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, within the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island of the Anglican Church of Canada. It is located at the south end of the Grand Parade, an open square in downtown Halifax with Halifax City Hall at the northern end.
  The church is modelled after Marybone Chapel in Westminster, London, which was designed by controversial architect James Gibbs, the architect of St Martin-in-the-Fields at Trafalgar Square.
  Built during Father Le Loutre's War, it is the oldest surviving Protestant church in Canada and the oldest building in Halifax. There is also a crypt below the church. Close to the church is the St. Paul's Church Cemetery. The official chapel of the church was the Little Dutch Church.
  Saint Paul's was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1981. In 1981, it was designated a Municipal Registered Heritage Property by the former City of Halifax, and in 1983 it was designated a Provincially Registered Heritage Property both under the provincial Heritage Property Act.
context_section_description: The service originally consisted of five pieces: four pieces have the mark of King Georges I (2 flagons, a Chalice and an alms receiver). Two of these pieces also have the mark of Queen Anne (a flagon and the alms receiver), which are dated 1713. The fifth piece – the paten – was damaged and melted down around 1819. All the pieces are made from Britannia silver.  In 1783, Governor Parr had the service given to St. Paul's.
  The silversmith Francis Garthorne (1641–1729) marked all of the pieces with a "G" that surrounded a small Roman capital A. Garthorne's work is in the collections of Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Museum of Fine Arts (Boston) and the Royal Collection Trust. He created five of the ten Ceremonial maces in the United Kingdom on display in the Jewel House at the Tower of London.
