History
The church is a former Church of England church which was dedicated to St Botolph and was active between 1721 and 2020 or 2021. The church tower was built in 1721 and the nave and north aisle in 1861, with later changes and additions. In 2021, it was sold to the Greek Orthodox Church.[3][4] The bells were moved from the church as part of the sale.[2][1]
The church is in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain,[1] Its rededication is to St. Basil and St. Paisios. The church is a Grade II Listed building.[5] In 2024, support was secured from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to undertake a full survey of the building's fabric.[6]
