St Botolph's Church, Ruxley, 13th century church building in Ruxley, England
The stone structure of St Botolph's Church stands near Ruxley Wood, featuring architectural elements from its original medieval construction period.
After serving as a place of worship for three centuries, Cardinal Reginald Pole deconsecrated the church in 1557, leading to its transformation into a farm building.
Archaeological excavations in the 1960s revealed evidence of an earlier wooden Saxon church at this location, indicating long-term religious significance.
The church site is accessible via the 233 bus route that connects Eltham to Swanley, with stops along Maidstone Road near Ruxley Corner roundabout.
An oast house remains adjacent to the church structure, reflecting the agricultural heritage and hop-growing traditions of the surrounding Kent region.
