St Botolph's Aldgate is a Church of England parish church in the City of London and also, as it lies outside the line of the city's former eastern walls, a part of the East End of London. The church served the ancient parish of St Botolph without Aldgate which included the extramural Portsoken Ward of the City of London, as well as East Smithfield which is outside the City.
The full name of the church is St Botolph without Aldgate and Holy Trinity Minories and it is sometimes known simply as Aldgate Church.[1] The ecclesiastical parish was united with that of the Church of Holy Trinity, Minories, in 1899.
The current 18th-century church building is made of brick with stone quoins and window casings.[2] The tower is square with an obelisk spire.[3]
