  2. On this side of the fence that runs along the centre of my photo is the land on which St John’s Church once stood. On the other side is a piece of land that was known as St Augustine’s Pasture, and behind that, where six grain silos stand, is the site of St Augustine’s Friary founded in 1317 by the Tilney family.

    In the July of 1930, in the old friary pasture, a firm of timber merchants were digging foundations for their new sheds when they found human skeletons just four feet below the surface.

  4. On this spot in about 1200, a hospital was founded and dedicated to St Leonard. Its function was to care for ten poor of the community. Thirty years later, Thomas de Moulton gave the hospital, along with rights to the land, to the Knights Hospitallers of St John’s of Jerusalem. A number of knights lived out their days here and a tomb of one of them can be found in St Botolphs Church in Boston town’s marketplace.

    St Leonard’s Hospital became St John’s Hospital and by 1287 there was a chapel added, this became St John’s Church, the cemetery of which you can see in my photos. The church was in use until the 17th century when it became unfit for purpose and was demolished.
