A view that takes in the whole of the medieval parish church of St Botolph in Boston, Lincolnshire, is hard to find. The great height of its lantern-topped tower combined with the size of its nave, chancel and aisles make it larger than some cathedrals. And, unlike many cathedrals it does not stand in a large "close", a space in which the building is set: here the surrounding houses, businesses and the river are close by. But this upstream location gives a reasonable idea of St Botolph's size and its setting, something that is difficult to achieve with a closer closer viewpoint.
