About Boston Guildhall

Discover 600 years of secrets...

Dating back to 1390, Boston Guildhall re-opened in March 2008 after 6 years of closure, and has since been crowned Lincolnshire Museum of the Year 2008 and RICS East Midlands Conservation and OVERALL Project of the Year 2008.

This historic monument to 600 years of time, includes the story of where the Pilgrim Fathers may have been tried and imprisoned, Boston's early history as the largest medieval port outside London; medieval banquets, the meeting place for the town council plus many other fascinating facts!

The famous portrait of Sir Joseph Banks has pride of place in the Council Chamber. He was an important figure in local Government as he was Recorder of Boston.
