What visitors say

Stephen Palmer

An amazingly large church for a town whos historic core is relativly small. The climb to the viewing area of 'The Stump's is well worth doing but be warned 300 steps in a very narrow spiral staircase takes some effort and you have to come down as well. But great views from the top on a clear day. Cafe was nice and welcoming and reasonably priced. All in all if you are in to history or church architecture well worth a visit.

Lovely cathedral sized church which reflects the past prosperity of Boston. You can pay to climb to the top of the tower and they run guided tours..

Beautiful stunning church. Had a great walk around. Lots to see. I tried the labyrinth which is meant to focus your thoughts and calm your mind. The stained glass windows were exquisite. I noticed a rain puddle seeping through the elegant roof. That’s probably an ongoing problem with such a majestic building of a certain age. Well worth a visit. I forgot to mention they also give away free daily bread for those in need.

Exceptional piece of local history and a landmark, that I am so happy to be able to see from my window every day. Walking up the tower is recommended if you are able to bare the claustrophobia and heights + the 200 odd steps... The hundreds of years of graffiti is a marvel in itself but comes second place to the view. Captivating ceiling architecture is definitely worth looking at and the lady from the gift shop was very friendly and helpful.
