bruton parish episcopal church

It is great to be in the same place of worship as Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, my family from out of town also enjoy visiting Colonial Williamsburg because of the history.

Just the idea of being in a church building which is used by an active congregation and has existed before the United States became the United States is awesome!

The church was clean and charming but not grand. Worth paying a visit if you're in colonial Williamsburg.

Finally timed our arrival between services on a Sunday morning, so we didn't feel like we were intruding. The ushers were more than welcoming, and if we had had more time, we would have stayed for a service. Aside from the magnificent architechture, it was pretty inspiring seeing pew boxes with names like Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and such.

Most amazing step back in our history! Knowledgable and friendly staff, pews labelled with the giants of our early history.

After 300 years of co-habitation in Williamsburg, Bruton Episcopal got together with First Baptist for an outstanding choral concert in this fine colonial church in the center of the historic district on Duke of Gloucester Street. I'll probably need a chiropractor after sitting in the straight-up pews for a couple of hours! This is a classic church restored in the colonial period and its a great scene setting for life in early America! Worth spending a few moments in reflection!

The church is beautiful and very historical. It is a peaceful place to have some quiet time for reflection as well as a place to sit and rest for a few moments.

The building is simply beautiful inside. Members of the congregation are on hand to answer all questions. The walls are original. The last restoration was in 1936 and is period appropriate.

The history of religion is unique in this country as our forefathers came here to worship as they saw fit. That wasn't always true when we first started, but at this church, you can see where they sat. We have a family member who's family were some of the earliest settlers in this country and it was very cool to see their name on the wall. The very old cemetery is another historical relic. "Patrick Henry" stated in his "talk" that if you had an ancestor that was one of the original and early settlers, you are more than likely related to most of the presidents and people in this country. We are starting to see he was right by our research.

Sit where Thomas Jefferson sat during services and listened to sermons.Historic church and grave yard is beautiful.

Bruton Parish Church is a treasure with the pews of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers. Beautifully preserved it provides a unique experience - you can actually sit where these honored figures sat. Amazing!

Attended Christmas morning service at Bruton Parish Episcopal Church in the historic area of Willaimsburg. The church is simple and very beautiful with markers identifying pews belonging to historical figures such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, William & Mary deans...The music was lovely. Before the service began the minister welcomed us and told us how glad he was that we were attending the service. If you are visiting the historic area when a service is planned, do attend.

Beautiful historic Church! Venture in and ask questions. Church members are more than willing to tell you about this fabulous Church

This church is beautiful. It is fully operating and not part of “Colonial Williamsburg,” so there is no price or ticket required to check it out. They also seem to have several events throughout the year for members of the community. Last weekend we enjoyed a chorale concert by the Davidson College Chorale as part of the “Candlelight Concert” series. During that event they also allowed parking on the street (which is normally closed vehicular traffic) which was nice, but not advertised.

The 300 year old church is such a wonderful setting for an organ concert. We enjoyed the candlelight concert the day after Christmas. But be warned...get there early as it is a popular free event in the historic area of Colonial Williamsburg. The line forms early.
