St Botolph's Church is the Anglican parish church of Boston, Lincolnshire, England. It has been referred to as "Boston Stump"[1] since it was constructed. Its tower is 266 feet 9 inches (81.31 m) tall,[a] and was long used as a landmark for the Boston fishermen; on a clear day it can be seen from Norfolk. The church is a Grade I listed building.[2]
