Trinity Episcopal Church
This Episcopal Church was founded by their congregation in 1850. The construction of this building was sponsored by Colonel John Travers who lived on Cheesequake Creek.
It didn’t become a full parish until 1958. When the church was deemed too small (it could only seat 75), new property was purchased on Ryers Lane in the Freneau section for a new church, which was dedicated in June 1968. Their congregation continues to meet on Ryers Lane in Freneau.
The church was converted into a restaurant first known as Bartholomew’s, then Barts, and currently, A Salute.
