St Botolph's Church


Hardham, United Kingdom (GB)
St Botolph's Church, the Anglican parish church of Hardham in the district of Horsham, is a Grade 1 listed building. It contains the earliest nearly complete series of wall paintings in England. Among forty individual subjects are the earliest known representation of St. George in England.[2] Dating from the 12th century, they were hidden from view until uncovered in 1866 and now "provide a rare and memorable impression of a medieval painted interior". The simple two-cell stone building, with its original medieval whitewashed exterior, has seen little alteration and also has an ancient bell.
