New Brick Church is dedicated.

Originally the Seventh Church in Boston and sometimes called the “Revenge Church” because it was formed by dissident members of the New North Church in 1720, it is located at today’s 265 Hanover Street [287-Bahne]. It is also called the “Cockerel Church,” because its rooster weather vane is installed in derision of the congregation’s unpopular former minister, Peter Thacher. Thomas Hutchinson and Paul Revere are members of the congregation, which merges with the Old North Church and then with the Second Church in Boston in 1779.* The building is torn down in March 1844.
