Newton City Council backs plan to restore Grace Church bell tower Shaun Robinson © SHAUN ROBINSON Grace Episcopal Church in Newton Corner. Newton will spend nearly $1.5 million in preservation grants to repair and restore the bell tower of Grace Episcopal Church, the city council voted March 1, marking the first time councilors have allocated Community Preservation Act funds to a religious organization. The 17-5 decision came after what councilors described as a rush of public support for the project, which church leaders said could now be underway by the summer. Project advocates had maintained that barring a seven-figure contribution from the city, the 19th-century tower likely would get torn down.
