Helpston - Church of St Botolph

The Church of St Botolph has a Norman tower which was partly rebuilt in 1865. The tower becomes octagonal when it reaches the level of the clerestory and has 14^th century bell openings and a short spire of the same period with a tier of lucarnes. The chancel, with its arch of filleted shafts, is about 1300 and both the sedilia and piscine are original. The porch entrance is early 14^th century. On one wall is a large painting of the Royal Arms of James I.
