"St Botolph’s Church Longthorpe is one of the earliest buildings in Peterborough and has stood on its present site for over 700 years. Originally it was a chapel of ease of the Abbey of Peterborough and stood on another site in the east of the parish. A deed of 1263 allowed the chapel to be taken down and rebuilt on its present site. After 1539 with the dissolution of the monasteries the building was transferred to the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral and served by the parish Church of St John in the city centre. Longthorpe was constituted as a parish in its own right in 1850.
The church can accommodate approximately 120 worshippers in the nave and chancel. To the south side of the nave there is a cloister, vestry, sacristy, small office and small kitchen.
A quinquennial inspection was carried out in 2014 and the church architect stated, “The church remains in exceedingly good condition and is a credit to the parish and those who take care of it” "
