First Church on Town Hill. Built 1834. Engraving 1887. This tower marked the last of a succession of congregational churches that had begun with public worship under a great oak tree on the south-eastern slope of the hill in 1629. The original parish of Charlestown removed in the fall of 1630 to Boston, but in 1632-35 Charlestown communicants established their own parish. For the next 168 years there was no other religious society in Charlestown.
