Church Of St Botolph

The Church of St Botolph, built between 1725 and 1729, is a Grade II* listed building that has undergone significant alterations. It features an aisled and galleried nave with a tower situated above a square chancel, flanked by lobbies. The east elevation, facing Bishopsgate, is constructed of Portland stone and includes an arched window framed by paired Doric pilasters that support a pediment. There are corniced doors on either side, leading to windows above, with circular openings and a cornice topped by a balustrade.

The tower rises in three stages, adorned with pilasters and a clock, and is topped with four urns and a circular lantern, all within a balustrade that is capped with an ogee dome and a carved finial. The other elevations are made of red brick and Portland stone, which were altered in the 19th century. The nave is lower than the east end and features two tiers of windows, with segmentally arched windows below and round-arched windows above, along with a small cornice and parapet. There are 19th-century doorways on the north and south sides, the latter of which has additional decorative features.

The centre of the west end is set forward and includes flanking consoles and a Venetian window. Inside, a Corinthian colonnade on pedestals supports an architrave and a panelled barrel vault that is richly decorated. The aisles have a coved ceiling, and the gallery at the west end, which is supported by a pair of Ionic columns and piers, features a panelled front and two vestries below. An arch leads to the groin-vaulted chancel, which has enriched panels on the intrados. The pulpit and organ case, divided into two sections, appear to be early 18th century, and a circular lantern has been added to the centre of the nave.
