NYFE Summary

The Morris family gave the church as a memorial to Ann Cary Randolph. Burials here include Lewis Morris, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Gouverneur Morris, who helped write the Constitution.

Brick frames the windows and doors in the fieldstone walls. A louvered belfry and a small spire rise above the roof. A later parish wing has a covered walkway of pointed arches.
