The site of St Botolph's church

This is the site of St Botolph’s church which was destroyed during the Reformation. In 1965 a number of medieval and post medieval pottery sherds were recovered from here but in 1976 only a few overgrown humps remained and until recently the whole site was covered in thick undergrowth until in 2013 the site was cleared and made accessible. Only a small part of the west wall of the square tower and possible evidence of a buttress remain. A bench was put up at the far end of the site > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3925311. The other three churches in the parish are St Mary's http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1372461 which is only a short distance away from the ruined church of St Martin > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1372643 also recently cleared of vegetation, and All Saints > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1371795.
