context_page_description: St Botolph's Church is a redundant Anglican church near the village of Skidbrooke, Lincolnshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It stands in an isolated position in the Lincolnshire marshlands, about 7 miles northeast of Louth, and to the west of the A1031 road.
context_section_description: The four-bay arcades date from the early 13th century.  The piers are octagonal, carried on tall octagonal plinths.  The capitals of the north arcade are plain; three of the four capitals in the south arcade are carved with a variety of motifs.  In the north wall of the chancel is an aumbry, and in the south wall are a piscina and a damaged sedilia.  On each side of the east window is a large grotesque corbel painted white.  In the chancel floor is the gravestone of a vicar of the church who died in 1413, and in the nave floor are two further gravestones with dates in the 18th century.  The south aisle contains another grotesque corbel stone.  The font dates from the early 13th century and consists of an octagonal bowl on an octagonal base.  Also in the church are monuments dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
