Grade I listed

A church is mentioned at Bottesford in the Domesday Book, but the church is mainly 13th century with a 15-16th century tower which was restored in 1630.
The north porch entrance dates from Circa 1200, and 2 south aisle windows are from circa 1300.
The nave arcades are Early English, with north and south being different.
Most of the rest of the church is from a 19th C. restoration, with a chancel roof by S. S. Teulon.

The church is of a cruciform plan and has a west tower, 3 bay aisled nave with splayed clerestory windows, north and south porches, transepts and chancel.
The church has many long, thin lancet windows.

The tower is of 2 stages with embattled parapet and crocketed finials. There are 6 bells
There is a very tall tower arch, and the kitchen area and boiler is located under a ringers platform at the base.

The chancel arch has a smaller arch above it. Unusually,they are placed west of the crossing.
There are 6 east windows of pale yellow glass with an oculus at the top.
The north transept is a chapel with the burials of the Morley and Holme families, the south transept houses the organ and is also used as a vestry.

In the 14th C. the south aisle roof was raised to allow for larger windows. The same was done to the north aisle in
the 16th C. The nave roof was raised in 1956.

There is a plain octagonal font and organ. The pulpit was removed due to woodworm, only the base survives.

A renovation and improvement project is currently running (2025) with a provisional funding estimate of �1.5M
