Boston is an old market town lying on the River Witham and grew up around the monastery thought to have been founded in the 7th century by St Botolph. At the time of Domesday Linconshire with its Danish heritage was the second most populated county in the country. It developed rapidly in the early middle ages becoming an important seaport but gradually declined with the silting up of the river and increasing trade with the Americas.
The town has many Georgian buildings and a famous landmark - the tower of the parish church of St Botolph which once served as a beacon for sailors on The Wash. In the early 17th century some of the local populace left to found Boston, Massachusetts, in America.
