Best Answer #2: from Gerald W. Edwards:
"The red bricks used to build Old St. Paul's Anglican Church were made at the Joseph Peer's farm at Lot 16, Concession 1 in East Oxford Township.
Originally built in a rectangular shape, the bricks are four bricks thick and plastered right on the brick. This horse-hair plaster is very solid and
will last a good period of time.
The bricks were made using lime from kilns established on the property of
Commander Philip Graham on the north side of the Thames River at Beachville.
In all 100,000 bricks were required and Joseph Peers charged 100 Pounds for
the lot.
The contractors hired to build the church were Messieurs Hill and Bishop.
Hill was a bricklayer and Bishop a carpenter. The total cost of building the
church was 1,800 Pounds. The first sermon was held on June 29, 1834."
