The south churchyard. The grave with the statue belongs to John Watts Jr., the last Royal Recorder of the colony of New York. Born Aug. 27, 1749. Died Sept. 3, 1836. Seems he adjusted alright to the revolution, he was a member of Congress fron 1793 to 1796.

The north churchyard. For more details of the graves go here.

The spire. When it was built this spire stood well above the skyline of Manhattan. It was, in fact, the tallest building in North America at the time. I posted more about the history of this chuch in a previous post.
