Founded in 1686, King’s Chapel is Boston’s first Anglican church and home to the oldest pulpit in continuous use in America. The stone building you see today was completed in 1754, replacing the original wooden chapel. During the Revolutionary era, it was a gathering place for British loyalists like minister Henry Caner, who stood for those wary of breaking from the crown. Its bell, recast by Paul Revere in 1814, still rings out today, and Revere called it the “sweetest bell he had ever cast.”
