All Saints Church of the now extinct Botolphbridge parish was mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086. It sat to the north of Botolphbridge manor. The site is sometimes indicated as "Bottle Bridge" or "Battle Bridge." All Saints was pulled down in 1695, and the materials were used to repair and enlarge the church at Orton Longueville. According to *A History of the County of Huntingdon* (1936), " [J]udging by the south aisle of Orton Longueville, which was enlarged with its stones, it [All Saints] must have been partly rebuilt in the 14th century. The bells are referred to in a will in 1540. One of the chancel windows had, in 1669, two shields of arms: (a) Azure, three arrows or, and (b) Argent, a cross lozengy gules. A solitary tombstone with an illegible inscription, standing amidst some trenches in a large field, is now [1936] all that marks its site."
