St Botolph's Church is an Anglican church in Horsehouse, a village in Coverdale in North Yorkshire, in England.
The first chapel in the village was built in about 1530, and was served by the canons of Coverham Abbey.[1] Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it became a chapel of ease to Holy Trinity Church, Coverham. In 1859 it was described as "ancient" but "small".[2] It was rebuilt in 1869, possibly incorporating some material from the original chapel. It was Grade II listed in 1988.[1]
The church is built of stone with a stone slate roof, and consists of a nave and a chancel under one roof, a south porch, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, quoins, stepped angle buttresses, two-light bell openings with Y-tracery and hood moulds, a string course, and an embattled parapet. The porch has quoins, and contains a pointed arch with a chamfered surround and a hood mould. There are a variety of windows in the Gothic style, including a three-light window at the east end.[1][3]
