Tour the historic church where Washington Irving was a vestryman, warden, Sunday School teacher, and regular parishioner until his death in 1859. See the beautiful stained glass memorial windows, learn the stories behind them, and visit Irving’s marked pew along with other memorabilia from his years as warden and vestryman of the church. The ivy on the church walls is from cuttings taken at Irving’s home, Sunnyside. An estimated 5,000 descended on this small church on the day of Irving’s funeral—far exceeding its capacity.
