Boston Stump, Lincolnshire.

Boston Stump is one of the defining landmarks in Lincolnshire. The Stump is the tower which forms part of the St Botolph's church in the heart of the town of Boston. Standing at 83 metres high it is the tallest parish church in England, and up until the 19 century the highest building in the world. It was built 1309 and finished in 1510, the tower was built in 1450 and despite being built metres away from the river Haven, the foundations, which are under water, have never been renovated. It is a stunning piece of architecture, which at the time it was built seems very frivolous and extravagant when most of the residents of the town were living in poverty.

It is also a very special place to visit, a place of quiet contemplation or for the more active you can climb up the stump, though not to the top as people keep jumping off it. The views are stunning and if you look carefully you can see Lincoln cathedral, Ely cathedral, Tattershell castle and my house.
