Secret Lincolnshire

Available for over a year

One of the oldest buildings in Boston is the Hussey Tower, a 15th-century brick ruin. It's named after its former owner, Baron John Hussey of Sleaford. Hussey was beheaded for treason on the orders of King Henry VIII in 1537, for his alleged involvement in the Pilgrimage of Grace which followed the Lincolnshire uprising in October 1536.
