§ This page provides an overview of a UK's local authority district, bringing together various information to help you better understand this district.
Boston in Lincolnshire is a market town district on the east coast, dominated by the impressive St Botolph’s Church, or “Boston Stump,” one of the largest parish churches in England. The River Witham runs through the town, linked historically to the Hanseatic League and overseas trade. The surrounding Fens create a flat, fertile landscape of agriculture and wide skies. Villages and hamlets dot the countryside, while drainage channels and dykes crisscross the area, reflecting centuries of land reclamation. The town itself remains a historic centre with strong ties to trade, agriculture, and maritime heritage.
The local authority for this district is: Boston Borough Council - responsible for district-level services. Since Lincolnshire is a two-tier area, county-level services are handled by: Lincolnshire County Council.
