King George the Third, London, ca. 1770
Item 100304 info
Tate House Museum
King George III served as the symbolic head of the Church of England, the Anglican faith. In 1763 Tate helped found a new Anglican parish on Falmouth Neck.
He and thirty other men issued a complaint regarding the distance between their homes in Stroudwater and the Congregational Church, located three miles away.
Tate and other Anglicans used this complaint to mask stronger sentiments against Parson Thomas Smith of First Parish’s Congregational doctrine.
