Trinity Church
Trinity Anglican Church
An Anglican Gothic Revival church in Uptown, home to a British royal coat of arms that Loyalists brought from Boston; its spire is a landmark of the city skyline.
The congregation of Trinity Church dates back to Loyalist settlers in 1783. The original church was destroyed in the 1877 fire, and it was rebuilt in 1880 as a stone Gothic Revival church, its tall spire a landmark of Uptown. The church's most famous treasure is a British royal coat of arms, which once hung in the old Massachusetts State House in Boston and was brought here by Loyalists during the American Revolution. It also has fine stained-glass windows. The church is usually open to visitors on summer weekdays, free of charge (donations welcome).
