Lonely Planet review

A hugely influential church in the annals of New York history, Trinity was built in 1697 by King William III. Its clergy were required to be Loyalists, even though many of its members were dedicated to American independence by the mid-1700s. Its serene cemetery, set above the street surrounded by skyscrapers, has headstones bearing names that would be familiar to any student of the American Revolution, couched in a wonderful garden of tulips, azaleas and magnolia and cherry blossom trees.
