ALDGATE The parish of St. Botolph Without Aldgate was part in
the City of London and part in the County of Middlesex (East Smithfield Liberty). It
extends from Aldgate High Street to the junction of Fenchurch Street and Leadenhall Street
and gets its name as one of the eight gates to the walled City of London.
The present church of St. Botolph was completed in 1744 and replaced
earlier churches on the site dating back to the 10th or 11th century. It is a plain brick
building with stone dressings, the brick tower containing a peal of eight bells.
