About Trinity Episcopal Church

Trinity Episcopal Church’s property was originally the home of Samuel Sitgreaves, well-known Easton diplomat, congressman and civic leader. In 1818, Episcopal congregation services began here, and Sitgreaves moved his home to Northampton Street. The congregation soon outgrew the home, which was replaced in 1871. After a fire in 1873, it was replaced again in 1875 by the present building. Sitgreaves is among those resting in the small adjacent cemetery; however, because the tombstones had to be moved when the church expanded, no one knows for sure where any of the graveyard’s inhabitants are buried.
