Welcome to St Botolph’s, Eastwick!
Set within a peaceful and picturesque village, St Botolph’s carries a rich story of change and renewal. Once a magnificent medieval church—described in early records as a large and impressive building with a tower, transepts, and fine tiled flooring at the east end—it stood proudly for centuries before being replaced in the 19th century. The church you see today was built between 1872 and 1875, continuing a long tradition of worship on this historic site.
Now part of the Benefice of High Wych and Gilston with Eastwick, St Botolph’s is a welcoming and active place at the heart of its community. Across our three churches, you’ll find a variety of services, events, and opportunities to come together in faith and friendship.
We’d love to see you here—visit our Services and Events pages to discover what’s coming up at St Botolph’s and across the benefice. A warm welcome awaits!
