            The Parish Church of Saint Botolph
View of the Chancel

Dominating the skyline for miles across the flat Lincolnshire fenland the tower of St Botolph's church in the market and port town of Boston stands at 272.5 feet and is known locally as the Boston Stump.

The chancel was begun in 1309 and is the oldest part of the present church with work progressing westward through the nave to the west tower which was built in the 15th century.
The tower is topped with a highly decorated octagonal lantern ringed with pinnacles, one of fewer than half a dozen medieval examples surviving in England.

The church is one of the largest parish churches in England, the nave is 242 feet long and 104 feet wide, making the internal space of the building impressive by sheer size.

The Fenlands of south-east Lincolnshire, west Norfolk and north Cambridgeshire are rich in medieval ecclesiastical architecture, because of this the area is sometimes referred to as the "Holy Land of the English".
