St Botolph was a Saint from East Anglia who died around 680. The present church at Swyncombe was built probably by Saxon workers under the command of the Normans. It is situated on the Ridgeway once a major road from Avebury in Wiltshire to the flint mines of Norfolk.

St Botolph's was born at the beginning of the 7th century of noble Ango Saxon parentage. After becoming a monk in France he built a monastery in Suffolk. He has been honoured as the Patron Saint of travellers and the 60 or so churches bearing his dedication are all near roads or rivers which provided transport. Slapton is on the River Tove, small at this point but thought by historians to have been less silted up and navigable in Medieval times.

St Botolph's Church is one of the country's largest parish churches. Its iconic tower, known as Boston Stump is the tallest to the roof of any parish church in England and one of the largest medieval towers in Britain. The church dates from 1309 and is visible for miles over the flat fenland countryside of Lincolnshire. It has a rich history, from Boston's involvement in the medieval Hanseatic League to the early colonisation of America.

The present church was probably built in the early 12th century. It was considerably enlarged with north and south aisles and chapels and transepts from the mid 15th to the mid 16th centuries. This church as viewed from the exterior is much as it was over 500 years ago. It is dedicated to St Breaca an Irish missionary who is thought to have first come to Cornwall in 500 AD to bring Christianity to the area.

St Brendan's Cathedral, Annaghdown, was an Episcopal church founded in the 12th century which struggled for centuries to be recognised in a dispute with the Archdiocese of Tuam. After the Reformation in the 16th century, the church was used as an Anglican parish church and underwent its last structural alteration in 1798, particularly on the south side.

St Brendan's Cathedral in Ardfert is an ancient cathedral, now in ruins, destroyed by fire in 1641. It was built on the site of a former monastery, founded in the early 6th century by Brendan of Clonfert.

St Brendan's Cathedral is the Catholic cathedral of Loughrea. Although designed in a neo-Gothic style, it houses perhaps the largest collection of neo-Celtic art and craft in Ireland. Its most notable feature is the extensive collection of stained glass windows created by the Dublin studio An Túr Gloine.

St Bride's is warm and welcoming, and one of the most famous and most fascinating historic churches in Central London.

St Bride Church, designed by Gillespie Architects, Kidd & Coia, is a modernist church built from 1957 to 1964. The cubic structure is considered a masterpiece of modernist architecture and, since 1994, has been classified as a Scottish monument.

St Bridget's Cathedral is the Anglican Cathedral of Kildare. It is the historic cathedral of the Diocese of Kildare, which became Anglican at the time of the English Reformation. It was built in 1223 by Norman Ralph of Bristol, Bishop of Kildare, in an early Gothic style. Its square central tower is low and crenellated, as it was designed to be defensible, a legacy of the troubled times of the early Norman period.
