St. Anne's Anglican Church (also known as St. Anne's, Gladstone Avenue, St. Anne's, Brockton, or the Group of Seven Church) is a historic Anglican parish church located in the Brockton Village neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario.
Established in 1862, the present church building, a National Historic Site of Canada, was constructed in 1907–1908 in the Byzantine Revival style, unique for an Anglican church. The interior of the church is decorated with murals by members of the Group of Seven which date to 1923 and Byzantine mosaics installed in the 1960s. The Group of Seven murals by J. E. H. MacDonald, Frederick Varley and Franklin Carmichael are a unique example of religious works by the circle, typically known for their landscapes.[1]
The building was severely damaged by fire on Sunday, June 9, 2024. The interior and artworks, including the Group of Seven murals, were destroyed.[2]
