No individual entry for Boston found in the Domesday survey. The Topographer (No. XIV, May 1790: 301) reports: "The font was new 1667", though the church itself dates at least to the early 14th century. [NB: the 1667 would heve been a Restoration font to replace whatever vessel had been used after the loss/rejection of the original medival font -- we have no information on either of those fonts; a modern font now in use at St. Botolph's is listed in this Index as Boston No.2 (Lincs.)]
