Trinity Church
A white wooden Episcopal church completed in 1726; its steeple is the landmark of Newport's old-town skyline.
Trinity Church was built in 1725–1726 in the style of Christopher Wren's London churches. Its white timber exterior and tall steeple are landmarks of the old town. The interior retains colonial box pews, a rare three-tiered pulpit and Tiffany stained glass. George Washington worshipped here (pew 81), and Queen Elizabeth II visited in 1976. Visiting is open during summer daytime; avoid touring during Sunday worship services.
