On September 30, 1842, Robert Singleton sold the trustees the land on which Trinity Church stands for $100. The present church is the third building on the site, the first having been built in 1842 and the second in 1895.
In 1890, the Parish included Upperville, Delaplane, Middleburg and Aldie, and by 1909 two missions had also been started. In February, 1895, the first building was taken down because of extreme dampness, and a new building was erected on the old foundation.
In 1948, it became apparent again that the church building was in bad condition and that a new structure was needed. This present campus compound was a gift to the Parish by two of its members, Mr. & Mrs. Paul Mellon. Work was begun in 1951, and the first service in the new church was held in 1960.
The present complex, which includes the church, parish hall, and rectory (now used as the church office), numerous related buildings, and additional land totally approximately 35 acres were all gifts to Trinity by Mr. & Mrs. Mellon. - https://trinityupperville.org/history
