## About

St Botolph's Church, known worldwide as the Boston Stump, is one of the largest parish churches in England. Building began in 1309 and the great tower was completed in the early 16th century; Pevsner called it a 'giant among English parish churches'. The church is forever linked with the Pilgrim Fathers through John Cotton, whose preaching here helped inspire the emigrants who founded Boston, Massachusetts in 1630. Today it is an active Church of England parish, open daily with a refectory, gift shop and tower climbs.
