Lonely Planet review for Arlington St Church

This 1861 church was the first public building erected in Back Bay. The original congregation gathered in 1729 in a barn on Federal and Franklin Sts. Three meeting houses later, this graceful church features extraordinary Tiffany windows and 16 bells in its steeple, which was modeled after London’s well-known church St Martin-in-the-Fields. The church’s Unitarian Universalist ministry is purely progressive, as it has been since Rev William Ellery Channing preached in the early 19th century. (A statue in his honor is across the street in the Public Garden.)
