St. Botolph without Bishopsgate stood on the west
side of Bishopsgate Street north of Bishopsgate. It was in Bishopsgate Ward. St. Botolph without
Bishopsgate is featured on the Agas map, south of Bethlehem Hospital and west of Houndsditch. It is labelled
S. Buttolphes.
The earliest written record of the church dates to 1212, but the remains of an
earlier Saxon church, discovered in the 1720s, indicate that a church stood on
the site before the Norman Invasion (Web). We
know from Stow that, in 1571, the Mayor of London Sir William Allen, who was
born in the parish, took measures to repair the ailing church (Stow). The church was partially rebuilt in 1617
and completely rebuilt in 1728 (Harben). The church is drawn in the same location on Richard Blome’s 1755
map of Bishopsgate Ward. The
eighteenth-century church can still be found in the same place in London
today.
For more information on St. Botolph’s modern church, see their website.
