St Botolph's Aldersgate
St Botolph without Aldersgate (also known as St Botolph's, Aldersgate) is a Church of England church in London dedicated to St Botolph. It is located on Aldersgate Street in the City of London.
Of medieval origin, the church survived the Great Fire of London with only minor damage but subsequently fell into disrepair and was rebuilt in 1788–91. The church is renowned for its beautiful interior and historic organ.
==Dedication==
The church was one of four in medieval London dedicated to Saint Botolph or Botwulf, a 7th-century East Anglian saint, each of which stood by one of the gates to the City. The other three churches dedicated to St Botolph were St Botolph's, Billingsgate (destroyed by the Great Fire and not rebuilt), St Botolph's, Aldgate, and St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate. Before the legend of Saint Christopher became popular, Botolph was venerated as the patron saint of travellers, which is thought to be why churches at the City gates have this dedication.〔Richardsn, John (2001) (''The Annals of London: A Year-by-year Record of a Thousand Years of History'' ), W&N, ISBN 978-1841881355 (p. 16)〕
