Church of Saint Botolph

St Botolph's Church is the parish church of Allerthorpe, a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in England. There was a church in Allerthorpe in the Mediaeval period, a small building with a chancel, nave, south porch and bellcote. A vestry was added in the early 19th century. It was demolished

and rebuilt in 1876, to a Gothic revival design by J. B. and W. Atkinson. The building was grade II listed in 1987. The church is built of limestone with freestone dressings, and a slate roof. It consists of a three-bay nave and a lower two-bay chancel. On the west gable end is an octagonal bell turret corbelled out over a buttress. It contains bell openings under a brattished cornice, and is surmounted by a spire with lucarnes and a poppy-head finial.
