Trinity Church Cemetery, Historic cemetery at Wall Street and Broadway, Manhattan, United States

Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum occupies a plot bordered by West 153rd and 155th Streets, Amsterdam Avenue and Riverside Drive in Hamilton Heights, beside the Chapel of the Intercession. James Renwick, Jr. designed the grounds, with later work by Calvert Vaux. Rows of weathered headstones, a tall monument topped by a robed statue, and a long granite wall of engraved niches fill the site.

Trinity Parish bought the uptown land bordered by 153rd and 155th Streets, Amsterdam Avenue and Riverside Drive in 1842, after weighing sites in the Bronx and at Green-Wood. James Renwick, Jr. designed the cemetery, with later work by Calvert Vaux. It lies beside the Chapel of the Intercession, co-founded by John James Audubon in 1846 and no longer part of the parish.

The burial grounds display memorial styles from several centuries, ranging from simple colonial markers to elaborate Victorian monuments. Many inscriptions tell of early New York families and their connections to the growing city.

The Wall Street section is open daily and provides a quiet contrast to the financial district, while the uptown location is more spacious and offers more room to explore. Both sections are walkable, though paths in the uptown area can be uneven and hilly.

The uptown section holds historical rose varieties growing among the graves, tended by volunteers who preserve old plant strains. This area still conducts burials today, while the Wall Street section closed to new interments in the 19th century.
