History

The church is a former Church of England church which was dedicated to St Botolph and was active between 1721 and 2020/21. The church tower was built in 1721 and the nave and north aisle in 1861, with later changes and additions. In 2020/21, it was sold to the Greek Orthodox Church.^[2][3] The bells were moved from the church as part of the sale.^[4][1]

The church is in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain, ^[1] Its rededication is to St. Basil and St. Paisios.
