king's chapel and king's chapel burying ground

This week, I went to many famous places in Boston on Friday. There are totally 10 places. However, because of the hot weather we leave in advance. Here I would like to talk about 2 places which are unforgettable for me.

King’s Chapel is a Christian Unitarian church in Boston, Massachusetts, located at the corner of Tremont Street and School Street. King’s Chapel was founded by Royal Governor Sir Edmund Andros in 1686 as the first Anglican Church in New England during the reign of King James ‖. In 1749, construction began on the current stone structure, which was designed by Peter Harrison and completed in 1754. The stone church was built around the wooden church. When the stone church was complete, the wooden church was disassembled and removed through the windows of the new church. The wood was then shipped to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia where it was used to construct St. John’s Anglican Church. That church was destroyed by fire on Halloween night. But in 2001, it has been rebuilt.

King’s Chapel Burying Ground is a historic cemetery at King’s Chapel on Tremont Street in Boston, Massachusetts and is the oldest cemetery in the city. The burying ground was founded in 1630 as the first cemetery in the city of Boston. After being unable to locate land elsewhere, the local Anglican congregation was allotted land in the cemetery in 1686 to build a church. The burying ground is the site of the graves of many historical figures. It was Boston’s only burial site for 30 years, and is stop on the Freedom Trail.
