Why it matters

Trinity was founded in 1697 under a charter from King William III. The present church, completed in 1846, is the third on the site, designed by Richard Upjohn in the Gothic Revival style.

Its churchyards hold burials from as early as 1681, including Alexander Hamilton's tomb on the south side. The Soldiers' Monument on the north side honors Revolutionary War soldiers held captive during the British occupation.
