St Botolph a renowned missionary and Saxon monk was influential in his day and was granted a tract of land on which to build a monastery. Thus Icanho monastery and abbey were founded.
Botulf�s Stone now called Boston in Lincolnshire England was thought to have grown up around Icanho abbey which was founded by St Botolph in the 7th Century.
Building of St Botolph�s Church pictured in this weeks header was commenced in 1309 and completed apart from the tower in 1430. The tower was completed later in 1520.
St Botolph�s know locally as the Stump (no idea why) is one of the largest parish churches in the country.
The criteria for this weeks headbangers challenge is Streets in your town that share famous names, I hope the banner meets your criteria Gailsman. Botolph Street and Botolph�s town together is that famous enough?
