Boston, England
The Stump That Time Forgot
"Bigger Tower, Smaller Prospects"
Official Coat of Arms
A field of flat fenland green, quartered by drainage dykes, bearing the Stump rampant against a sky that is 90% weather warning. Above, a swarm of Pilgrim Fathers rowing away very fast, motto beneath reading 'They Left For A Reason'.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Climbed the Stump, got a great view of the Fens and, if I'm honest, not much else. The market square is nice on a Wednesday but the town centre shuts earlier than my nan. Lovely fish and chips though, and the Haven smells exactly how you'd expect a tidal river to smell."— BargateBrenda_Lincs
Property Listing
Stunning fenland market town offering unparalleled long-distance views (of more fen), a historic tower that dominates the skyline whether you like it or not, and excellent transport links to literally anywhere else via the A16.
Twinned With
Boston — Two towns sharing a name, a harbour, and a deep mutual confusion about why anyone would name a place after the other.
Supporting Evidence
St Botolph's Church tower, known locally as 'the Stump', is visible from up to 30 miles away across the flat Lincolnshire fens, making it one of the only exciting things to spot on a long drive through the county.
