If anyone wants ro see the "TREASONOUS" climb to get to the Old North Church Steeple here is a video It was considered TREASONOUS to be out past CURFEW and the climb in the darkness eight stories up was also dangerous. Interesting history. THANKS Q FOR POSTING. You gave us some HOPEFUL NEWS. We needed it. This is a cool video of the dangers involved getting up into the STEEPLE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9W7TvmlX6A "When the British Navy put boats in the water on the night of April 18, 1775, the colonists knew which way they intended to leave. Paul Revere had two men come to the church that night. One was the sexton, or the church caretaker, Robert Newman. The other was a vestryman of the church and a close friend of Revere’s, named Captain John Pulling Jr. The two men came inside the church’s front door, locking it behind them and then climbed up either one of the staircases in the back corners. Once in the gallery, they squeezed behind the pipe organ and through a small door into the tower. They climbed a winding series of stairs and ladders EIGHT STORIES high in TOTAL DARKNESS. Once at the top, using flint and steel, they lit the two lanterns and held them out the window facing towards Charlestown for just SIXTY SECONDS. It doesn’t sound like a long time but it was all the time that was needed." https://oldnorth.com/historic-site/the-events-of-april-18-1775/
