The church is on the west side of Bishopsgate near Liverpool Street station. In the Middle Ages the site was just outside the city walls near the "Bishop's Gate" after which the street is named. St Botolph was a patron saint of travellers, so it was an appropriate dedication for a church near a city gate. There were three other churches of St Botolph in medieval London, at Billingsgate, Aldgate and Aldersgate.
Christian worship on this site may have Roman origins, though this is not fully proven.Stow, writing in 1598 only describes the church of his time as standing "in a fair churchyard, adjoining to the town ditch, upon the very bank thereof". It narrowly escaped the Great Fire, the sexton's house having been partly demolished to stop the spread of the flames. Writing in 1708, Hatton described it as "an old church built of brick and stone, and rendered over". By this time the Gothic church had been altered with the addition of Tuscan columns supporting the roof, and Ionic ones the galleries.

St Botolph without Bishopsgate A look at its interior
Join us as we view the inside one of the great City of London churches-St Botolph without Bishopsgate. We've filmed this church many times, mostly its exterior and surrounding City of London skyscrapers. This time, we look inside this wonderful church. There's so many interesting connections in a very rich history that has hermits, eccentric London sheriffs, John Stow and many more famous London characters. This church survived the 1666 Fire of London and even the Blitz, though suffered badly in the early 1990s with two separate IRA bombs.

We've filmed this church many times, mostly its exterior and surrounding City of London skyscrapers. This time, we look inside this wonderful church. There's so many interesting connections in a very rich history that has hermits, eccentric London sheriffs, John Stow and many more famous London characters. This church survived the 1666 Fire of London and even the Blitz, though suffered badly in the early 1990s with two separate IRA bombs.

David Mutisya Bishop of Garissa (Kenya):
The church is on the west side of Bishopsgate near Liverpool Street station. In the Middle Ages the site was just outside the city walls near the "Bishop's Gate" after which the street is named. St Botolph was a patron saint of travellers, so it was an appropriate dedication for a church near a city gate. There were three other churches of St Botolph in medieval London, at Billingsgate, Aldgate and Aldersgate.
Christian worship on this site may have Roman origins, though this is not fully proven.Stow, writing in 1598 only describes the church of his time as standing "in a fair churchyard, adjoining to the town ditch, upon the very bank thereof". It narrowly escaped the Great Fire, the sexton's house having been partly demolished to stop the spread of the flames. Writing in 1708, Hatton described it as "an old church built of brick and stone, and rendered over". By this time the Gothic church had been altered with the addition of Tuscan columns supporting the roof, and Ionic ones the galleries.
