Church Of Saint Botolph

The Church of Saint Botolph is a Grade I listed building, possibly of Norman origin, with visible evidence from the 14th, 16th, and 18th centuries. It is constructed of knapped flint with a strip of red brick along the top and has a slate roof. The nave and lower chancel are likely Norman and were altered in the early 14th century. The church features decorated two and three-light windows, with the east window being reticulated. The early 16th-century north chapel is made of brick with stone dressings. A large early 18th-century stuccoed south porch and west bell turret were designed by Percyvall Hart, who died in 1738.

Inside, the church boasts fine 18th-century plaster ceilings, window surrounds, and a chancel arch decorated with alternate mitres and crowns. There is a notable late perpendicular rood screen featuring pomegranates of Aragon and the rebus of Sir John Peche, along with an 18th-century balustrade, pulpit, benches, and a black and white marble pavement. The stained glass from the 14th, 16th, and 18th centuries was made by W Peckitt of York. The church contains significant monuments, including one to Sir John Peche (died 1922), a standing wall monument to Sir Percyvall Hart (died 1581), a monument to Sir George Hart (died 1587), and Percyvall Hart (died 1738) featuring fine rococo Gothic arcading, as well as a hanging monument to Anne Dyke (died 1763) in the style of Sir Henry Cheeres. The church is associated with Lullingstone Castle.
