GB 0074 P69/BOT4 1558-1976 Collection 94.6 linear metres (2095 production units). Parish of St Botolph Bishopsgate, City of London , Church of England

The parish church of Saint Botolph Bishopsgate (also known as Saint Botolph without Bishopgate), on the west side of Bishopsgate in the City of London, is recorded from at least the early 13th century. 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 rebuilt in 1571-72, partly rebuilt in 1617 and entirely rebuilt between 1725-28. It was also restored following damage in World War Two. In 1869, the parish absorbed the District Chapelry of All Saints Skinner Street (P69/ALL) and in 1954 the parish church of All Hallows London Wall (P69/ALH5).

Most of the records of St Botolph Bishopsgate were deposited with the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library after 1948, although a number of records had been transferred earlier. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009. A further deposit was received in 2010.
