The Boston stump

St Botolph's Church is a parish church in the Church of England in Boston, Lincolnshire. It is notable for its extraordinarily tall tower, known as the "Boston Stump". The tower is approximately 272 feet (83 m) high, the tallest parish church in England to its roof, and it can be seen for miles around, its prominence accentuated by the flat surrounding countryside known as The Fens.
