It was constructed in the thirteenth century and dedicated to <a href="/wiki/Botwulf_of_Thorney" class="mw-redirect" title="Botwulf of Thorney">Botwulf of Thorney</a>. St Botolph's was used as a church for around 300 years but was <a href="/wiki/Deconsecrated" class="mw-redirect" title="Deconsecrated">deconsecrated</a> in 1557. The church was then used a farm building for over 400 years and the remains of an <a href="/wiki/Oast_house" title="Oast house">oast house</a> are still adjacent to it. In the 1960s archaeological work was carried out on the site and found evidence of an older wooden building, suggesting there may have been an older Saxon church in the same location.
