Anglican service is held in Boston.

Officiated by Rev. Robert Ratcliffe, it held in the Deputies Room in the east end of the Town House. The first Anglican service in Boston, it is held at the request of Gov. William Andros, who later demands that Anglican services be held at Old South Meeting House, then the First Church in Boston, then finally orders construction of an Anglican Church in 1689.* Ratcliffe, who had arrived in Boston a month earlier, dies two months later. Rev. William Harrison provides him with an Anglican burial on August 21, 1686.
