St. Botolph's Church.The majority of the building seen today was built in the 14th century, whilst most of the internal decorations, particularly in the chancel and around the font, reflect the work of E. W. Godwin in 1862. A Saxon church once stood on this site, evidence of which can be seen outside the church in the "long and short work"brickwork by the tower. The original tower was built in 1180 without foundations. The outer walls of this can still be seen and the primitive way in which the flints were assembled with mortar may have been the reason why it fell in 1628. |
