Later medieval Boston was one of the largest and most prosperous towns in England, trading in particular with German towns and with Norway. The town had a vibrant religious life, most obviously in the building and ornamentation of the enormous and spectacular parish church of St Borolph.
Apart from the prestigious Guild of St Mary the main focus of Marian devotion appears to have been a statue known as Our Lady in the Wall which enjoyed particular spiritual privileges.
My posts about this figure, of which little is recorded, can be found through Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady in the Wall at Boston
May Our Lady in the Wall at Boston pray for The King and all the Royal Family and for us all
