Church Of St Botolph

The Church of St Botolph is a parish church that dates from the medieval period and later. It is constructed of flint and stone, featuring slate and lead roofs. The church includes a west tower, nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, and a chancel. The west tower is embattled and consists of four stages with diagonal buttresses. References to the construction of the tower can be found in wills from 1460 to 1474. At the base of the tower, there is a stone frieze carved with emblems of the Passion.

The church has a 19th-century Perpendicular style three-light west window, square openings in the ringing chamber with tracery under hood moulds, and two-light bell openings, also from the 19th century. The tower features battlements with crocketed finials. The nave has four bays and is buttressed, with diagonal buttresses. There are three 19th-century two-light Decorated windows in the south aisle. Beneath the middle window, there is a memorial tablet from 1748, adorned with a cherub's head at the top and a skull at the apron. The north aisle has a doorway in the first bay and two brick Y-tracery windows, along with a blind clerestorey.

The chancel is buttressed and consists of two bays with diagonal buttresses, while its south wall is made of knapped flint. There is a priest's door, which is now glazed, set under a four-centred arch with a hood-mould. The east window is a 19th-century four-light design. The porch at the first bay of the south aisle likely features an 18th-century vault.

Inside, the church has north and south arcades supported by octagonal piers and double chamfered arches. Stone corbels with heads support the roof, which has a 19th-century king-post design. The aisles feature arch-braced roofs, and the chancel has a roof from the 19th century. There is a box-pew in the chancel and a heavily restored screen with 19th-century upper parts, along with 19th-century parclose screens. The painted arms of Victoria are displayed over the tower screen, and a plaque commemorating the restoration of 1845 is located above the south door. The octagonal font is supported by four lions at the base and has eight panels featuring alternating rosettes and leaves on the bowl.
