Trinity Church is a historic church on Main Street in Thomaston, Connecticut. It is a wood frame Stick style structure, designed by Richard M. Upjohn and built in two stages in 1871 and 1880. Its main roof has a front-facing gable, from which cross gables at full height extend, giving a basically cruciform shape to the roof. At the front there is a hip-roofed extension to the left, and a gabled extension to the right that ends in the square tower. A larger hip-roofed cross section extends at the back of the main building. The tower is square for two stories, then begins a steeply-pitched roof section that ends in an open belfry, with a small pyramidal roof at the top. The building is clad in vertical board-and-batten siding, with Stick decorations in the gables.[2]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
