Trinity Church New York
In the south aisle of Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Abbey is a wall plaque of silvered bronze, with the parish seal of Trinity Church, New York, USA depicted, which remembers William III and Queen Anne who gave land to the church. The graves of these monarchs are nearby. The inscription reads:
In May 1966 to celebrate the 900th anniversary of Westminster Abbey, Trinity Church in the city of New York presented this plaque in grateful memory of King William III who in 1697 granted a charter and a generous gift of land to Trinity Church establishing it as the first Anglican church in the city of New York. And of Queen Anne who in 1705 granted Trinity Church the Queen's Farm and Garden on Manhattan Island.
