    St Botolph's church in Boston is also called The Boston Stump, so called because it is one of the…read morelargest parish churches in England, and has the 14th highest tower in England. It has lost of ghostly tales, such as the The Grey Lady, which you can see apparently if you walk around the stump twelve times at midnight and look up to the tower (walking around the stump 12 times you probably would be delirious anyway...) You can climb the 352 stairs up the tower which gives views (and vertigo) across the fens. It really is spectacular, although I don't think you can get to the very top towers now due to restoration work. It used to cost 50p but it has probably gone up quite a bit now!

    Reviewing as a landmark/attraction, not as a church in case that's not obvious. Seems like a nice…read moreand welcoming place though judging from the flyers and whatnot. Anyway; lovely and interesting building, friendly and helpful people, modern gift store with a good variety of items that are both well designed and actually related to the building, including some nice leather bookmarks. Going up the tower is worth it unless you are claustrophobic and/or afraid of heights. I'm a little bit of both but risked it anyway! The steps up the tower are not just steep but also very narrow, which on the way up in particular started to get to me a bit. Coming back down was much better since it's easier to gauge how far you have to go. Views from the top are fantastic and/or terrifying and there's a handy plaque which tells you what the dots you're seeing in the distance are. Or so my husband tells me, I was crouching in the safest corner checking twitter, so I couldn't swear to it.
