A remarkable historic church, combining an essentially complete 10th century Saxon tower and a medieval nave and chancel. In addition to the wonderful historic architecture, however, St Peters is famous for its bones. Extensive archaeological excavation in the cemetery unearthed over 2800 skeletal remains dating back to the late 8th century, making St Peters the largest resource in Britain for historical bone analysis.

Centenary Methodist Church (aka 'Methodist Cathedral') is one of the most impressive non-Conformist chapels in England. It was built in 1839, then rebuilt after fire damage in 1910. The interior has hardly changed since then and is filled with original art nouveau furnishings.

St Botolph's church, popularly known as the Boston Stump, has the tallest tower (not including the spire) of any parish church in England. It is a largely 14th century building, though the striking tower is 15th and 16th century. The building, particularly the exterior and the famous tower, is superb, and must represent one of the high points of English church architecture. The Stump has close ties with the Pilgrim Fathers and the founding of America.

A very tidy little country church standing in trees, close to a moated medieval manor site just north-east of Snarford. The nave and chancel of St Michael's were renovated in the Victorian period, but, blessedly, the renovations did not disturb the medieval treasures within.

A Georgian town church in neo-classical style, modelled after St Martin-in-the-Fields church in London. The tower of All Saints is Perpendicular Gothic, dating from the 14th century, but the interior is something quite remarkably different - painted in pastel hues of lilac, gold, and white, with large classical columns supporting galleries on two sides.
