St Mary Bothaw, Medieval church building in Walbrook ward, City of London, England
Located at the intersection of Cannon Street and Dowgate Hill, St Mary Bothaw served as a central religious structure in medieval London.
The church existed from the 10th century until 1666, when the Great Fire of London caused its complete destruction and materials were used for St Swithin.
Records from 1279 show William de Hamkynton as rector, marking St Mary Bothaw as one of thirteen churches under Canterbury Cathedral's direct supervision.
The former church site now lies beneath Cannon Street Railway Station, with nearby transport connections providing access to the historical location.
The name derives from 'boat-haw', meaning boathouse, reflecting the church's connection to London's maritime activities near the River Thames.
