St Paul’s Churchyard


The remains of many English, Irish and French citizens are buried here.

Among the well-known is George Frederick Cook, the English actor whose ghost is rumored to roam the grounds in search of his head, which, it is said, was used in a performance of Hamlet.

ThomasAddis Emmet, an Irish patriot who was exiled, has a place of honor in the graveyard, alongside patriots of the Revolutionary War.

The French are represented by StephenRochefontaine,
a noted military engineer for the Continental army.

>>>The Extraordinary Ministry of St. Paul's Chapel

September 2001-May 2002

After the attack on September 11, 2001, which led to the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, St. Paul's Chapel served as a place of rest and refuge for recovery workers at the WTC site.

For eight months, hundreds of volunteers worked 12 hour shifts around the clock, serving meals, making beds, counseling and praying with fire fighters, construction workers, police and others. Massage therapists, chiropractors, podiatrists and musicians also tended to their needs.

Today, St. Paul's continues as an active part of the Parish of Trinity Church, holding services, weekday concerts, occasional lectures, and providing a shelter for the homeless.<<<
