Boston, Lincolnshire Boston is a market town & inland port in the borough of the same name in the county of Lincolnshire, England. It lies to the SE of Lincoln, east of Nottingham & NE of Peterborough. The town had a population of 64,600 at the 2021 census. The Haven in Boston flows about 5 miles away to the Lincolnshire coast at The Wash. Boston's most notable landmark is St Botolph's Church, colloquially referred to as 'The Stump', the largest parish church in England, which is visible from miles away across the flat lands of Lincolnshire. Residents of Boston are known as Bostonians. Emigrants from Boston named several other settlements around the world after the town, most notably Boston, Massachusetts, then a colony & now part of the USA. The staple trade made Boston a centre of intellectual influence from the Continent, including the teachings of John Calvin that became known as Calvinism. This, in turn, revolutionised the Christian beliefs & practices of many Bostonians & residents of the neighbouring shires of England. In 1607, a group of pilgrims from Nottinghamshire led by William Brewster & William Bradford attempted to escape pressure to conform with the teaching of the English church by going to the Netherlands from Boston. At that time, unsanctioned emigration was illegal, & they were brought before the court in the Guildhall. Most of the pilgrims were released fairly soon, & the following year, set sail for the Netherlands, settling in Leiden. In 1620, several of these were among the group who moved to New England in the Mayflower. Boston once again became a significant port in trade & fishing in 1884, when the new dock with its associated wharves on The Haven were constructed. It continued as a working port, exporting grain, fertiliser, & importing timber, although much of the fishing trade was moved out in the interwar period. Boston has historically had strong cultural connections to the Netherlands, & Dutch influence can be found in its architecture. The 7-storeyed Maud Foster Windmill, completed in 1819 by millwrights Norman & Smithson of Hull for Issac & Thomas Reckitt, was extensively restored in the late 1980s & became a working mill again. It stands next to the drain after which it is named, & is unusual in having an odd number (5) of sails. Boston's most important industries are food production, including vegetables & potatoes; road haulage & logistics companies that carry the food; the Port of Boston, which handles more than one million tons of cargo per year including the import of steel & timber & the export of grain & recyclable materials; shellfishing; other light industry; & tourism. The port is connected by rail, with steel imports going by rail each day to Washwood Heath in Birmingham, & the port & town are also connected by trunk roads including the A16 & the A52. In late 2013, a £100 million development was announced for the outskirts of town on the A16 towards Kirton. This development, named the Quadrant, is split in 2 phases. Phase 1 consists of a new football ground for Boston United F.C., 500 new homes, retail & business outlets, & a possible supermarket. This development also includes the beginning of a distributor road that will eventually link the A52 Grantham Road & the A16 together. Phase 2, still in the development stage, consists of a possible 2nd new marina, more new homes, & retail units.
