History
The church tower was built in 1721 and the nave and north aisle in 1861, with later changes and additions. It was dedicated to St Botolph until it was sold to the Greek Orthodox Church in 2020/21.[3][4] The bells were moved from the church as part of the sale and the church has since been rededicated to the aforementioned saints, referred to as Saint Basil the Great and Saint Paisios of the Holy Mountain.[5][1]
The church is in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain.[1]
