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.

Of the fourth church in this parish, only a fragment remains, it used to be hidden in a very overgrown copse, but recently the P.C.C and the Shotesham gardening and conservation group have cleared the site and made the ruin accessible to the public, and landscaped the area around it. Just the foundations of the west wall of the tower remain complete with buttresses. The church was demolished on the orders of Henry VIII, after a dispute with the Abbot of St Benet's..
