| 説明 | The small market town of Boston, Lincolnshire has much to offer for an interesting day out, including it's fine Medieval church (The Stump), St Mary's Guildhall and Dominican Friary plus a working flour mill and a good selection of Georgian buildings. Boston benefitted from the 1766 construction of the Great Sluice which controlled water levels in the River Witham and created vast tracts of fertile arable land between the port and the City of Lincoln. Trade through the port in agricultural produce and wool made the town very rich until the end of the 19th century.The religious deviants known later as the Pilgrim Fathers were arrested trying to flee to Holland from Boston and were imprisoned in the Guildhall cells until they were committed for trial at Lincoln Assizes. Connections with the Mayflower are strong and the Museum holds much interesting material on the USA's Founding Fathers. |
