The Church of St Botolph's, Slapton, also referred to as Slapton, St Botolph, is the ancient parish church of the village of Slapton near Towcester in West Northamptonshire, United Kingdom. Constructed sometime around the late 12th and early 13th centuries the church is notable for its almost complete surviving set of late medieval wall paintings, widely considered the finest in Northamptonshire.[1][2] The interior was described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "memorably intimate".[3] The church is designated as a Grade I listed building.[4]
