St Botolph's Chapel is located in Botesdale, Suffolk. Built as a chapel of ease for the parish church of St Mary's Church, Redgrave, it now serves as the parish church, since St Mary's was declared redundant in 2004. [1] It is a Grade II* listed building. [2]

The earliest reference to the chapel was in a court roll in 1338, but in c. 1470 the chapel was converted to a chantry using land and property left by John Sheriffe. [3]

In 1547 the chapel passed to the Crown following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and in 1576 the chapel building was converted to use as a grammar school founded by Sir Nicholas Bacon. It closed as a school in 1878, reverting to use as a chapel of ease in 1883. [1] [2]
