GB 0074 P69/BOT1 1466-1984 Collection 27.4 linear metres (816 production units). Parish of St Botolph Aldersgate, City of London , Church of England

The parish of Saint Botolph Aldersgate existed from at least the 13th century, the church standing near Aldersgate, one of the gates of the City of London. Botolph was a 7th century Saxon Abbot and the patron saint of travellers, so his churches were usually situated at the city gates. The church was enlarged in 1488, repaired in 1627, rebuilt in 1754-57 and repaired again in 1833 and 1851. The parish was united with Saint Bartholomew the Great in 1954 and became one of the City of London's "Guild Churches". The churchyard is laid out as a garden, Postman's Park.

Glasshouse Yard was an extra-parochial liberty in the northern part of the parish of Saint Botolph Aldersgate. It extended outside the City into Goswell Street.
