Honyman Hall

Honyman Hall

Honyman Hall, Trinity Church, Queen Anne Square, Newport, Rhode Island.

Honyman Hall sits across the road from Trinity Church. Some of the sessions of the International Berkeley Society's 1999 conference were held here. It is named after The Reverend Mr George Honyman, the "Father of Trinity Church". At one time a Chaplain in the Royal Navy, he arrived in Newport in 1704, serving as a rector until his death in 1750 (a period encompassing Berkeley's stay in Newport). He was buried in the churchyard.
