It is also the only major surviving structure associated with the life of Samuel Livermore, a prominent New Hampshire statesman and jurist.

It is a modest single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior.

Unlike most early New Hampshire buildings used as churches, it follows a traditional Anglican church layout, rather than that of the colonial meeting house that was more typically built with entrance and pulpit on the long sides of the building.

It was built on land owned by Livermore, and remained in the family's ownership until 1854, when Arthur Livermore Jr. deeded it along with the adjoining burying ground to the Trinity Church Yard Cemetery Association for one dollar.

The church's congregation declined in size in the mid-19th century, and it is now only used occasionally for services.
