St Botolph's Aldgate, Medieval church building in Aldgate, England
The brick church features stone quoins, window casings, and a square tower crowned with an obelisk spire at the junction of Houndsditch and Aldgate High Street.
Established in 1101, St Botolph's Aldgate served as one of four churches dedicated to Saint Botolph near London's defensive gates during the medieval period.
The parish records document a multicultural community through centuries, including Jewish, French, Dutch, Indian, and Persian residents in the Portsoken ward.
The church opens Monday from 09:30 to 17:00 and Tuesday through Thursday from 09:00 to 17:00, with Sunday services held at 10:30.
The church houses the oldest organ in the United Kingdom that maintains its original position and components, built by Renatus Harris in the early 18th century.
