St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate is a Church of England church in the City of London, dedicated to St Botolph. It is situated outside what was Bishopsgate ["The Old Churches of London" Cobb,G: London, Batsford, 1942] ., about a 2 minute walk from Liverpool Street station. Adjoining the buildings is a substantial churchyard and former school [The City of London Churches Betjeman,J Andover, Pikin, 1967 ISBN 0853721122] . It is linked with the Worshipful Company of Bowyers.
Christian worship on this site may have Roman origins, though this is not fully proven. The present church (the fourth on the site) was completed by George Dance the Elder in 1725 ["London:the City Churches” Pevsner,N/Bradley,S : New Haven, Yale, 1998 ISBN 0300096550] , the previous one having survived the Great Fire of London in 1666 [Samuel Pepys-The Shorter Pepys Latham,R(Ed) p484: Harmondsworth,1985 ISBN 0140094180] only to be demolished in 1725. During construction, the foundations of the original Saxon Church were discovered.
The infant son of the playwright Ben Jonson is buried in the churchyard, and baptisms in this church include Edward Alleyn in 1566 and John Keats (in the present font) in 1795 ["The Visitors Guide to the City of London Churches" Tucker,T: London, Friends of the City Churches, 2006 ISBN 0955394503] .
By permission of the Rector, the Antiochian Orthodox Church worships there. [http://www.london.antiochian.org.uk/mainpages.asp?pageinfo=Location]
