(Needless to say, it wasn’t a popular place in a community founded by Puritans who fled the Church of England.)

The current stone church building was built in 1749 and features a bell cast by Paul Revere that is still rung before services. The adjoining graveyard is the oldest in Boston; as such, it contains the graves of some of the original colonists of Massachusetts, including governor John “City on A Hill” Winthrop, and Anne Prine, said to be the real Hester Prynne on whom Nathaniel Hawthorne based his book The Scarlet Letter.

Along with them are several “B-list” patriots, such as William Dawes, the “other rider” who raised the alarm on the eve of the battles of Concord and Lexington.
