St Botolph is the English patron saint of travellers, and this is one of three churches in the City of London to bear his name. The famous writer Daniel Defoe was married here in 1683. During some of his writings about the Great Plague he describes how the church was filled with over 5,000 victims in what was known as a ‘Plague Pit’. There has been a church on the site since the early 14th Century.
