There has been a church on this site before the Battle of Hastings, although the current building was completed in 1729. Designed by James Gold, the church was built to replace the previous building after it became unsafe in 1724. The church is close by to the site of the Bethlehem Hospital for Lunatics, which became known as the infamous Bedlam. Famous names associated with the church include Keats, who was baptised at St Botolph’s in 1795.
