The Holy Sepulcher Anglican Church in Grafton is a wooden church building, built in the years 1880-1881. The church was designed by Edward Mahoney. In 1896 the English firm Brindley & Foster supplied an organ. The instrument was converted and enlarged in 1913 by Norman & Beard. Only the pedal action has been electrified, but otherwise the organ has been preserved unchanged. Three registers have never been installed.
