Nice place, and as real as it gets. Not a typical tourist stop, although you will enjoy seeing it. Beautiful wood work.
We enjoyed visiting the Church and grounds of this historic Chruch where you can sit in the same pews that held Washington and Jefferson and other past presidents. The church has a harpsicord that was played beautifully. Seasonally, they have concerts on Tuesday and Thursday...More

I am glad your granddaughter enjoyed that. The bell was a gift from James Tarpley in 1761! The tower was added to house the bell. You can see that the bricks are slightly different in color. Thank you for this review!
Standing in this church that was visited by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and others was a great experience!
Thank you very much for visiting and sharing your experience with others.

We started roaming through the cemetery surround the church then went inside. The docents were great and had lots of information to share. It's not always open ... sometimes it's closed because it is an active church. Every night there is a free organ recital.

We made the donation and visited Bruton Parish Church as part of our Williamsburg visit. The architecture made the tour worthwhile. Would recommend visiting the church during a visit.
The suggested donation as you mention is $1.00 per person and very much appreciated. It helps us with maintenance and bigger projects, keeping this 1715 building safe, dry, well-lit, heated and cooled. Thank you!
