About Boston - show infohide info
Boston is a town on the east coast of England. Boston has a small port and is based in the county of Lincolnshire. Boston’s primary landmark is The Stump, a mediaeval parish church built around 1450 with the highest tower in England. It is visible in the flat lands of Lincolnshire for miles. The origin of Boston’s name was initially held to be taken from "Saint Botolph's Town" or of "St.Botolph's stone". It is however, a contentious issue and now largely disbelieved. By the 11th and 12th centuries, Boston had developed into a town and port, and at the beginning of the 13th century is was an important trade point with Europe and ranked as a port of the Hanseatic League. Authorized to carry the import and export trade, Boston had become one of the official "staple towns" of England. Its trade revolved largely around wool, but Boston was also a port for salt from Holland, grain, and lead produced in Derbyshire and brought up river. With the declining wool trade in the 15th century, focus shifted to weaving that took off elsewhere in the country. Thus Boston’s wealth diminished and the Hansa merchants quit the town. Boston was a hotbed of religious dissent in the 17th century. In 1607, a group of Pilgrims from Nottinghamshire led by William Brewster and William Bradford attempted to escape pressure to conform with the teaching of the English church by going to the Netherlands from Boston. John Cotton, the vicar of St. Botolph's, promoted non-conformist preaching, and despite being frowned upon by the Church of England instigated a big increase in Church attendance. Later helping to found the city of Boston, Massachusetts in1630, Cotton encouraged those who disliked the lack of religious freedom in England to join the Massachusetts Bay Company. Boston was for a short time on the main line from London to the North when the railway came in 1848, and the town received a second boost in its trade and fishing industry when the new dock was built in 1884. With immigration from Eastern Europe and Portugal, Boston is experiencing a current boom, although not without its tensions.
