Trinity Church is an historic church at 7 Providence Road in Brooklyn, Connecticut.
Much of the money and effort to build the church came from Anglican churchman Godfrey Malbone, as a response to efforts to build a Congregational meetinghouse. Under Malbone's supervision, Trinity Church was finished in April 1771, ahead of the Congregational church. It is the oldest surviving Anglican church building in Connecticut.[2] It is modeled on churches designed by Peter Harrison, and was built in part with the labor of slaves supplied by Malbone.[3]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in October 1970.[1]
