1831 description

"St George Botolph-Lane with St Botolph Billingsgate, the church of, is situated a few houses on the right from Little Eastcheap. It derives its name from the ancient English Saint George of Cappadocia. It is an ancient rectory...and was originally in the gift of the Abbott and convent of St. Saviour Bermondsey, at whose dissolution it came to the crown.  The old church was burned down in 1666, and the present edifice erected in 1674, by Sir Christopher Wren.  The exterior is in a handsome old style, and decorated with some well executed sculpture; the interior is composed of the nave and two aisles, separated like columns of the composite order, which support a handsome vaulted roof.  It is 54 feet in length, 36 in breadth, and 36 in height.  After the fire, the parish of St. Botolph, (see that church [St Botolph Billingsgate]), was united by act of Parliament to this parish.  That parish was also a rectory, the advowson of which was anciently in lay hands, but in 1194 was successfully claimed by the Dean and chapter of St. Paul's, under a deed of gift from Odgarus.  It continued with them till its union with St. George, when the patronage was exerted by them and the crown, alternately.  It is in the city and Archdeaconry of London..."^[16]
