Church of St Botolph

The Church of St Botolph, built between 1741 and 1744 by G Dance (elder), features an aisled body with a ritual west tower, which is actually located to the southeast, and is flanked by low, domed lobbies. The church is constructed of mixed yellow and red brick with partly painted stone dressings. It has two tiers of windows, with segmentally arched windows below and round-arched windows with stone dressings above. The east end has a central Venetian window and a larger window set into a simply gabled structure. The building is topped by an entablature and a parapet.

The lobbies include pedimented doorways, a cornice, and blocking, with copper roofs covering the domes. The tower features an arched doorway in its pedimented lower stage, with arched and circular openings above, accented by quoins and strip pilasters, and a cornice that is topped with carved urns and a spire that includes an octagonal clock stage.

The interior was significantly altered by Bentley around 1889. It features a widely spaced Doric colonnade that rises from the level of the gallery, which is supported at the west end by small Ionic columns. The rich plaster ceiling, which includes figures of angels in the cove, is entirely from the late 19th century. The reredos is said to date from this period but retains characteristics from the mid-18th century. There is a plain 18th-century pulpit and a carved organ case that may date from 1676 or slightly later. The church also has good wrought iron altar rails and a sword rest, as well as monuments in the vestibule under the tower, a plain marble font, and a well-crafted oak cover.
