The church is in Hardham, West Sussex (and part of Horsham district). The church is dedicated to Botwulf of Thorney (also called Botolph, Botulph or Botulf; d. c. 680) - an English abbot and saint, and the patron saint of travellers and farming.
The church is Saxon in origin, but the significant thing is that it has wall paintings dating back to the 1100s. At some point these were covered up, only to be revealed from 1866 onwards.

Nieuwe Kerk - in 1584, William the Silent was entombed here in a mausoleum. Since then members of the House of Orange-Nassau have been entombed in the royal crypt. The private royal family crypt is not open to the public. The church tower, designed by Pierre Cuypers and completed in 1872, is the second highest in the Netherlands, after the Domtoren in Utrecht.
