Trinity Episcopal Cemetery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance to local history and for nineteenth century funerary art (tombstones). The cemetery is the place of interment for many early citizens of Godley's Crossroads, the community that preceded Chocowinity. Veterans of the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Spanish American War, and more recent wars are buried here.
The centerpiece of the cemetery is a cenotaph dedicated to the memory of Bryan Grimes, a local planter, statesman, and Confederate officer in the Civil War.
The cemetery remains in use as a final resting place for members of Trinity Episcopal Church and other persons who meet criteria for interment.
The cemetery is located near the intersection of NC Hwy 33, Mill Road, and Taylor Road. It is open year round from sunrise until sunset.
In 2019, the Vestry funded a $15,000 campaign to repair and protect the oldest and most vulnerable monuments in the cemetery. This work, which took a year to complete, was done by Michael Verville/Verville Restorations of Hillsborough, North Carolina.
