St. Botolph's Church
St Botolph's is a Church of England church on the west side of Bishopsgate in the City of London. It was first recorded in 1212. It survived the Great Fire of London in 1666, and was rebuilt in 1724–29.
The church is noted for it being the location of an anomalous photograph taken in 1982. The picture shows an anomaly, which some have claimed is a figure wearing "old-fashioned" clothing and standing on the balcony to the right of the altar.
