Bruton Parish Church - The present church was erected in 1710-1715 to replace an earlier church which became inadequate for the community when the seat of government was moved to Williamsburg. The tower was added about 1769. The exterior of the building is largely original and the interior has been restored to the appearance of the 18th century. Williamsburg, Virginia. [George Washington, James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson and John Tyler worshipped here. Their names are on the first pews]
