ST BOTOLPH, Aldgate, the church of, is situated at the south east corner of Houndsditch, and nearly opposite the Minories, in Aldgate High street. It is one of the four churches in London dedicated by our ancestors to their favourite saint, Botolph the Briton. The old church, which was rebuilt by the prior and canons of the Holy Trinity, a short time before the dissolution of that convent, escaped the fire in 1666; but it had become so ruinous in 1741, that it was taken down and the present edifice finished in 1744. It is built principally with brick, and is a plain, bold and massive structure, consisting of a regular formed body and a lofty spire on a rusticated tower.
This church was a rectory of very ancient foundation, the patronage of which was in the proprietors of Portsoken Ward, who in 1115, gave it to the prior and convent of the Holy Trinity. At the dissolution of that priory, it was seized by the crown, and in 1577 Queen Elizabeth gave it to Robert Holliwell for a term of years; at the expiration of which it was granted by James I to Francis Morrice, from whom it descended to several others, and the impropriation has ever since continued in private hands.
It is now a perpetual curacy, of which Robert Kynaston Esq., is the patron, who instituted the Rev J. B. Hollingsworth D.D., Archdeacon of Huntingdon in 1824.
