About King's Chapel
King’s Chapel’s Anglican congregation included both Patriots and Loyalists, and many royalist members departed during the Revolution. The church closed for a time after British evacuation and later adopted an independent liturgy. It reflects Boston’s political and religious transformation as ties to the Crown were severed.
The 1754 stone church and its Georgian interior survive as a National Historic Landmark on Boston's Freedom Trail. King's Chapel manages the building, preserving a colonial place of worship with later Unitarian associations.
