 St Botolph
St Botolph – greatly venerated as the most influential missionary of the seventh century, founded a monastery in 654, appears to have led a peaceful life and died in 680.
For example, St Botolph's fame in Denmark is attributed to the consecration of three Danish bishops by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the same year that permission was given to remove the bones of St Botolph from Grundisburgh (where on the night of translation a light came from the funeral bier and illuminated the darkness).
St Botolphs life was tormented by demons but as to the exact nature we are unsure - varying in explanation for evil spirits haunting the land and water - ghosts, devils and even an illustrated fish-demon.

 Dining Out | St. Botolph’s   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
I first checked out the new St. Botolph’s on January 6, fresh upon reports that the Good Life–Centro team had decided to revive it as a “neighborhood restaurant” rather than spend over a million dollars on a new fine-dining concept.
The new wine list at St. Botolph’s is Californian, Italian, and a little French (whose isn’t these days?), priced from $22 to $79, and perhaps better on the reds than the whites.
Botolph’s also aces Centro in being its own restaurant, and thus its own refuge from the surrounding area.

He also added “1505, Will Stephens; he died rector [of St Botolph’s church] and was the last the church had; for in 1544 it was made a private property by Henry VIII, who granted it to Will.
The street itself, from Stump Cross to the northern end of St George’s, was finally closed to traffic at the end of March 1969, by which time most of the demolition to create the square had taken place.

O Botolph, thine adversaries' fiery darts * fell before thee as the arrows of infants; * for like a prince in his fortified castle, * from thy high tower of grace, thou didst watch thy foes; * and with the cross-bow of thy Christ, * thou didst rain on them shafts of unceasing prayer.
