Boston Stump

Sculpted headThe great church of St Botolph at Boston in Lincolnshire has been a landmark looking over the Fens for centuries and acquired the affectionate nickname of 'The Stump'. It is famous for the height of its tower. At 272 feet it is the tallest (not counting spires) in England. Less well-known, because less easily seen, is its fascinating collection of medieval misericords.
