There are many short pamphlet-type publications about the saint which can easily be picked up from churches which are dedicated to St Botolph. Sadly the following three books are the only publications of any "weight" which are still available:-

"Suffolk in the Middle Ages" by Norman Scarfe (2007) is currently in print and available from the Boydell Press. It contains a very informative section entitled “St.Botolph, the Iken Cross & the Coming of the East Anglian Community.”
