Boston Priory

Boston Priory was a priory in Boston, Lincolnshire, England.

The origins of St Botolph's Church, Boston have their roots in the former priory church of the Benedictine monastery.[1] The first church of St Botolph was granted to St Mary's Abbey, York, shortly after 1089 and a priory of monks was constituted.[2] The foundations of this first church were discovered during restoration work on the north side of St Botolph's, 1851-3. There is no record of the priory after 1281, and the present church was not begun until 1309.[2]
