King's Chapel
The original King's Chapel in Boston, Massachusetts was a wooden church built in 1688. It was situated on the public burying ground since no resident would sell him land for a non-Puritan church. That building was replaced by the current stone structure, which was built between 1749 and 1754. The English bell has hung from 1772 and was cracked and repaired by Paul Revere in 1814.
Burying Ground
The burying ground at King's Chapel is the site of the graves of many historical figures. It was Boston's only burial site for 30 years, and is a stop on the Freedom Trail.
