Description
The Newport, Rhode Island congregation began to gather about 1698. The first church structure was built in 1700. The present church building was constructed in 1725-26. The church's design is very similar to that of Old North Church in Boston. Trinity, however, was built entirely of wood.
The church was used as a garrison church by the British Army in 1776�1778.
Local oral tradition reports that George Washington attended services there in 1781. Le Chevalier de Ternay, the French admiral who died in December 1780, is buried in the churchyard.
The church has been seen in several films, including Amistad and Evening. The burial service for former Rhode Island Senator Claiborne Pell was held at the church in January 2009.
