Revd. Nicholas Phené

1769 - 1773

 

Although only a short ministry. we have no information about the condition and work of the Church during these years. We do know that 6 new members were added to the Church and that while at Hertford Mr. Phené married Sarah Everitt.

 

We would also have welcomed some reference to current events which led in 1775 to what the historian Green calls " the darkest hour in English history" - the outbreak of war with America.

The 'Boston Tea Party' took place off Griffin's Wharf in Boston Massachusetts as a protest against British Taxation.
