Old Trinity Church, Episcopal church in Oxford Township, Philadelphia, United States
Old Trinity Church is a brick building in Oxford Township with a corner tower, belfry, and transepts that were added during different construction phases starting in 1711. The structure displays multiple building periods that reflect how the edifice expanded over centuries.
The building replaced an original wooden Quaker meetinghouse from 1684, where Church of England services started in 1696 and marked a significant turning point for the congregation.
Services here continue to follow Anglican traditions that have been maintained for centuries and connect the current Philadelphia community to its past.
The church is typically open during scheduled services on specific days, and visitors should expect respectful dress codes and appropriate conduct while inside. The Oxford Township location is accessible by public transportation or car, with clear signage marking the site.
The building preserves a historic silver communion set from Queen Anne dated 1713 that is used during special ceremonies and retains its original beauty. This piece connects visitors directly to the colonial era and demonstrates the importance this congregation held during that time.
