Parish of St. Paul’s
This Parish of St. Paul’s was founded in 1737 by a missionary priest sent to the colonies from London. The present church building is the fifth erected on this site. The second structure was destroyed by the British on July 11, 1779, when General Tyron ordered the burning of Norwalk.
The third church was consecrated by Samuel Seabury, the first bishop of the Episcopal Church in America. The original Altar from this church is situated in the side aisle of the present building.
Marker is on St. Paul’s Place, on the right when traveling west.
