At one time Boston was a major port and Fenland sailors plying their trade in The
Wash would take their bearings from the 272ft tower of St Botolph’s Church, also known as ‘The
Stump’. The town’s quays still sing to the sound of small-boat engines.
It was from here in 1630 that a band of Puritans set sail for America to found
the town of Boston in Massachusetts.
Boston has numerous fine old buildings, including the 15th century Guildhall
and the 18th century Fydell House, home of the Pilgrim College.
