St. Botolph (Aldgate) was a parish church near Aldgate at the junction of Aldgate Street and Houndsditch. It was
located in Portsoken Ward on the north side of
Aldgate Street. Stow notes that the
Church hath beene lately new builded at the speciall charges of the Priors of the holy Trinitiebefore the Priory was dissolved in 1531 (Stow). He further highlights that the rebuilding was due to
[t]he Parishioners of this parish being of late yeares mightily increased, the Church is pestered with loftes and seates for them(Stow). The church was pulled down and rebuilt between 1725-1740 (Harben). The newer building remains on the same site today.
Also known as St. Botolph without Aldgate, the
church stands immediately northeast of Aldgate on
the Agas map, beneath the label
S. Buttolphes.
