What) Trinity is
one of the few parishes in northern Vermont whose origins go
back to the 18th century. The earliest known Episcopal
services took place in Shelburne in 1790. The first services
held in this building were in 1866. Designed by William
Appleton Potter, a leading church architect in the east, the
Gothic Revival chapel is built of red stone from a quarry on
Shelburne Bay Road. (1)

Why) We were driving through Shelburne when the unusual red stone of this church caught my eye. We made the quick decision to stop and then I got to spend a pleasing 30 minutes walking around it and taking in the exterior.
