St. Botolph without Bishopsgate

Designed by James Gould and built in 1729, this is the fourth church in this location.



The unusual altar reredos are by Salviati and depict the figures of St. John the Evangelist and Moses (earlier incorrectly identified as possibly Christ and the church's namesake) flanking a somewhat stylized tree of life in the middle.
