Church Of St Botolph

The Church of St. Botolph is a medieval church that was restored in 1884. It features a nave, chancel, and a south-west tower with a porch. The building is constructed from flint rubble, with some parts of the nave plastered, and has limestone dressings. The roofs are covered with plain tiles, and the tower has a pyramid-shaped tiled roof with open eaves.

The chancel dates from the mid-13th century and includes a south doorway with a hoodmould and corbel faces, as well as single-light windows on the north and south sides. There were early 14th-century alterations, which added three-light windows with intersecting tracery in the north and south walls, and Y-tracery two-light windows in the nave side walls. A 14th-century nave doorway features roll-and-fillet moulding with a square label and retains its original oak door with moulded ribs; inside, there is a stoup.

Additionally, there is a 14th-century trefoiled piscina next to a dropped-cill sedilia cut into an earlier south chancel window, and another piscina for a south nave side-altar. A plain 14th-century south doorway has been blocked by 17th or 18th-century brickwork. The tower, which includes a porch on the ground floor, was added in the 15th century and has a simple doorway. The upper stage of the tower was removed around 1700.

The nave roof was rebuilt in the 17th century and features moulded wall-pieces, although it is otherwise plain. An archdeacon's report from 1602 described both the nave and chancel as "exceeding ruinous." The chancel arch is made of moulded stucco with flanking red brick walls and has a Gothick form, possibly from the late 17th or early 18th century. The scissor-braced chancel roof, installed in 1884, includes sections of moulded cornice that may have been reused from the 14th century.

The church also contains an octagonal limestone font from the 15th century, which is traceried and has a restored 17th-century oak cover. Inside the nave, there are three painted panels from the late 18th century depicting the Credence, the Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Commandments.
