Trinity Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal congregation in Upperville, Meade Parish, Fauquier County, Virginia. The principal buildings—church, rectory, and parish hall—are grouped around three sides of an octagonal courtyard, paved in Belgian block. The Neo-Norman-style church is the centerpiece of a 35-acre campus and a contributing property to the Upperville Historic District.
The current church with its many embellishments was the gift of Upperville residents Paul and Bunny Mellon. They donated it to Meade Parish in memory of Mary Conover Mellon (1904-1946), Paul Mellon's first wife and the mother of their two children, who died suddenly at age 42.: 274 The new church was dedicated on September 28, 1960.
