Beautiful church that I enjoyed visiting and attending a service on a blustery January day. The weather kept most of the tourists at bay so I'm sure the Parishioner to Visitor ratio was high. The service was a classical Episcopalian service but without music. Probably because I am an early riser and attended the 8:00am service. For some reason they did not want participants to perform intinction (dipping bread in wine). In this post pandemic world, I don't know if that's for "health" reasons or if it's just a "house rule". Either way, it was novel for me. Definitely a wonderful living historical building that's almost a must visit location. I still remember a PBS woodworking show visiting to see the old carpentry in the building and would have loved to tour the building more on another visit.

Easily my favorite building in Colonial Williamsburg. As a fan of colonial-era churches, this one is certainly one of the best in the state, and it's the oldest surviving building in Williamsburg. It's free to enter, and you can see on the pews essentially a roll call of important colonial names, with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, Patrick Henry, George Wythe, and many others. You can see the graveyard too, although they don't let you walk around in it. Should absolutely be the #1 priority of anyone looking to visit Williamsburg.

Open tour spot with some volunteers inside that will spend a minute or more telling you stories about the building. It's a really old church, just ask her the year, it's awesome! Picture George Washington sitting there for Sunday service? So cool!! Building is kept up well and makes you feel like you were there. It also still has service on Sunday's, so you can even come for a service for a fuller experience (depending on your religious beliefs, I suppose). But, either way, it's truly awesome building.

Beautiful historic church in Colonial Williamsburg. Worth a visit. Attended the Hogmanay New Year's Eve concert and it was wonderful. Really happy we went. There was no charge but you can make a donation to support the church should you wish. If you attend a free event there, it is recommended to go about 15-30 minutes early and wait in line so you can get a seat. Space is limited. If you can manage steps, there are two balconies that offer great views.

Beautiful church with so much history. It's not part of the Colonial Williamsburg organization, but there are church members who volunteer and tell great stories about the history of the church. You can take pictures in the church and then only ask for a $1 donation per person. The grounds are beautiful with grave makers from the 1700's. Beautiful and fascinating. Definitely make time to visit.

My Wife and I attended an historical Welsh Concert in this special place and we felt it was such a wonderful experience. Being hard-of-hearing, I was able to hear that unique Organ & Oboe music, the Singers were interactive and very devoted to their Craft! Be generous if you visit this active House of Worship... they get no Funding from Colonial Williamsburg.
