Listed Building record TQ 67 SW 1131 - PARISH CHURCH OF ST BOTOLPH

Summary

Grade I listed building. Main construction periods 1200 to 1709. From AD 798 the estate of Northfleet, with lands for grazing and pannage in Aylesford Common, was a possession of the archbishops of Canterbury. By the mid-tenth century there was a stone church on the same hilltop site where the parish church of St Botolph still stands. It consisted of a rectangular nave and a small square chancel. The surviving south-west corner of the nave is built of long-and-short quoining, a feature of mid-tenth century Saxon architecture. Most of the architexture is early 14th century with some 13th century and earlier work, except the tower which was rebuilt after a collapse in 1717.
