St. John's Church

This church was built in 1807 as the successor to the 1732 Queen's Chapel. The church contains 17th and 18th century antiques, including a steeple bell that came from France to Nova Scotia in the mid 1700s. Colonial soldiers took the bell as a souvenir and presented it to Queen's Chapel in 1745. Damaged when the chapel burned in 1806, the bell was recast by Paul Revere.

The church has one of the four American copies of the 'Vinegar Bible', so named because vineyard is mispelled. St. John also houses an 18th century baptismal font, several original box pews, the communion set presented to the church by Queen Caroline and the Brattle Organ, the oldest pipe organ in the US.
