Church Of St Botolph

The Church of St Botolph is a redundant church that dates from the medieval period and later. It is constructed of flint, partly rendered, with ashlar dressings and features a copper roof. The nave and chancel are aligned together. The west wall includes a 14th-century cusped lancet window and a former bell cote above it. The south wall has a Norman doorway with three orders, featuring chevron and roll moulding, along with chip carving. Three scallop capitals remain, which relate to former nook shafts. The hood mould above the doorway is chip carved with beast's head label stops. The south wall also has various windows: a loop with a two-centred head, a wide lancet, a two-light cusped Y-traceried window, and a 15th-century two-light window with a flat head. The east window is a 14th-century three-light window with reticulated tracery. To the north, there is a two-light cusped Y-traceried window and a blocked plain chamfered doorway.

Inside, there is a stoup located to the east of the south doorway, a 13th-century roll moulded piscina at the east end, and a small arched aumbry opposite. The church contains some fine late medieval benches with poppy head ends and traceried backs, along with a surviving figurative armrest carving of a dog and shepherd, which retains traces of original paint. There is a 17th-century two-tier pulpit with a polygonal preaching box, featuring carved lunettes and fluting on the clerk's desk, as well as finely carved friezes on the preaching box. The 17th-century communion rails have turned baluster shafts.
