Reviews of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate

E. C.

St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate is a striking classical church on Bishopsgate, one of the only London churches with its tower at the East end. The church is in the Bishopsgate Without area of the City of London, the part of the city that grew up outside of the Bishopsgate in the Roman wall. The route of the Roman wall ran along Wormwood Street to the south of the church. The modern street called Bishopsgate was the Roman road from London to York, Ermine Street. Roman place of worship may have existed here but the first known is the Saxon site discovered during the construction of the current structure. A stone church is recorded on the site in 1212, greatly repaired by Lord Mayor Sir William Allen in 1572. The deliberate destruction of the sexton’s house saved the church from the Great Fire of London in 1666, but by the 18th century the church had fallen into disrepair. The old church was demolished in 1725 and completely rebuilt by James Gould and George Dance in 1729. The East end is dressed stone but the rest of the church is brick. The aisles and galleries are separated from the nave by an arcade of composite columns. The barrel vault roof is pierced by a lantern, installed in 1820 to illuminate the gloomy interior. The font, pulpit and organ all date from the 18th century. The church survived the Blitz largely unscathed, losing only one window. However, the 1993 Bishopsgate Bombing by the IRA destroyed all the doors and windows and ripped open the roof. Three years of restoration followed and the reopening was commemorated in a stunning stained glass window by Nicola Kantorowicz.

Wonderful Church. Seems very busy and active, the Church hall next door had a talk on and that was full to capacity. A lot of people in and out of the Church which is a good sign and the interior is really lovely. They seem to hold a lot of events which is really good and embrace the local community.

Lovely church in the heart of the City steeped in history as well as serving the needs of its modern parishioners. Well worth a visit.

(Translated) St Botolph's Church is a brick and stone Anglican parish church in the Bishopsgate area. The first written mention of the church dates back to 1212. The first stone of the new building was laid in 1725, and three years later it was illuminated. During the Second World War, the church was severely destroyed several times. The temple houses memorials to the soldiers of the 5th and 8th battalions of the London Regiment who died in the First World War. There is a cemetery adjacent to the church. (Original) Церковь Святого Ботольфа - это англиканская приходская церковь из кирпича и камня в районе Бишопсгейт. Первое письменное упоминание о церкви датируется 1212 годом. Первый камень нового здания был заложен в 1725 году, а спустя три года ее осветили. Во время Второй мировой войны церковь несколько раз сильным разрушалась. В храме находятся мемориалы погибшим в Первой мировой войне солдатам 5-го и 8-го батальонов Лондонского полка. К церкви примыкает кладбище.
