The tower of St Botolph’s in Boston, the Boston Stump, is the tallest medieval church tower in Britain, 272 feet high (83m) and a prominent landmark for sailors on the Wash. It would have been a familiar sight to the Pilgrim Fathers for it was from Boston, in 1607, that religious separatists William Brewster and William Bradford and their followers first attempted to sail away to the Netherlands to escape persecution. A lonely memorial marks the site beside Scotia Creek south of the town where they were captured, having been betrayed by their ship’s captain, and the prison cells in Boston Guildhall where they were held awaiting trial can still be seen.

St Botolph’s Church One of the UK’s largest parish churches, St Botolph’s is the first thing you’ll see as you approach the town, dominating the flat landscape for miles. The Perpendicular Gothic tower is eighty-three metres high and nicknamed the Stump. It was completed in the 1510s, when Boston was flourishing, and you’ll be able to scale the 209 steps up to an open walkway two thirds to the top of the tower for panoramas of The Fens and The Wash.

Boston “stump” is a historic landmark and one of the tallest churches in Europe. It is a 5-10 minute walk from the property and a must see whilst visiting Boston. There are some nice bars, cafes and restaurants around the area and plenty to see and do.

The Stump is situated in the town centre and can be seen for miles around. You can climb the 365 steps to the top where you will have a breath taking view of the local countryside as well as miles around.
