Bruton Parish Church, 201 Duke of Gloucester Street, Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Virginia

Significance: The church was begun in 17112 to a design provided by Governor Alexander Spottswood. The nave was lengthened to the east in 1752, and the steeple was added in 1769. This is the church, in continuous use since 1715, whose rector, Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin, first conceived the restoration of Williamsburg. He erased nineteenth century changes early in the twentieth century, and later the church was authentically restored by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in 1940. It is owned by the Trustees of Bruton Parish Church.
