Church Of St Botolph

The Church of St Botolph is a Grade I listed building located in Buttercrambe on Main Street. It features a nave, transepts, and a tower dating from the late 12th century, with a late 13th-century chancel and a 15th-century upper stage to the tower. The church underwent restoration in the 19th century, including the rebuilding of the west gable in 1859. Constructed from dressed limestone and sandstone, it has a Welsh slate roof and a cruciform plan.

The church has a three-bay nave with a south porch, two-bay transepts, a crossing tower, and a three-bay chancel. Notable architectural details include a string-course and corbel table along the nave, transepts, and tower. The nave features round-headed windows, except for a round window in the west gable. The south porch from the 19th century contains a door with four orders of shafts adorned with dogtooth and stylised flowers, and waterleaf capitals supporting a deeply moulded round arch. The north door mirrors the south door but has only one order of shafts. The transept windows are predominantly lancets, with round-headed windows on the south transept's west wall and a late 13th-century two-light window on the north transept's east wall.

The chancel includes one flat-arched and two two-light pointed windows on the north side, while the south side has a blocked round-arched priests' door and two two-light Perpendicular windows. Inside, the crossing features triple responds, with the central respond being keeled and supporting triple-chamfered arches, along with plain moulded capitals. The font, likely from the 14th century, has a lobed bowl and a 17th-century wooden cover. The church also contains a painted wooden Royal Arms from 1710, a brass memorial to Robert Constable who died in 1457, and a wall memorial to Robert Belt, who died in 1630, and his wife, who died in 1662. This memorial consists of a tablet flanked by Corinthian pilasters supporting a broken segmental pediment with an achievement, all resting on brackets with a carved angel in between.
