Welcome
Built in the 1390’s by the Guild of St Mary, this beautiful medieval building is today the town museum and available for private hire as a venue for wedding ceremonies and for events such as celebrations, conferences, meetings and talks.
Our new exhibition “Boston: The Pilgrims and the thread to America” shares how our understanding of the Pilgrim story in Boston and how the town’s connections had a profound influence on the foundation of the United States of America.
A complex and compelling tale of intrigue and influence, which enhances Boston’s importance in both the wider beginnings of the Pilgrims as well as the foundation and administration of Boston, Massachusetts in 1630.
