"ST. BOTOLPH, Bishopsgate, the church of, is situated on the west side of Bishopsgate-street Without, and nearly opposite the western end of Houndsditch. The ancient church of this name was of very ancient foundation, and received its name from the before-mentioned Anglo Saxon Saint, who died about the year 680. The first authentic account of this church is in 1323, when John de Northampton resigned the rectorship, which then was, and still is, in the gift of the Bishop of London. The old church which stood upon the bank of the ancient city ditch escaped the fire of London, but became so ruinous that it was taken down in 1726, and rebuilt firom the designs of the elder George Dance. It was finished in 1729, and is a spacious, substantial, and well built structure. The spire is peculiarly handsome, and with that of Shoreditch, by the same architect, among the best since the days of Wren. . . . The living is a rectory in the gift of the king and the Bishop of London, and the present incumbent is the Hon. and Rev. E. Grey, who was instituted by the King in 1828." [J. Elmes, A Topographical Dictionary of London and its Environs (1831) - transcribed by Brian Randell]
