Enter this three-centuries-old Episcopal church and sit where many famous patriots sat before you. At the time of the Revolution the Church of England was the official church, and all Virginians were expected to attend regularly.

Among the men of the Revolution who attended Bruton Parish Church were Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Richard Henry Lee, George Wythe, Patrick Henry, and George Mason. But the building’s history, and that of its churchyard, goes back further in time.

Dating from 1715, the present structure is the third in a series of Anglican houses of worship that began in 1660. The first, which may or may not have been at or near the 18th-century site, was built, probably of wood, in the Old Fields at Middle Plantation, Williamsburg’s name until the 66-year-old community was incorporated in 1699.
