PLEASE leave a DONATION to help in the upkeep of this lovely old church
St Olave's was founded in 1055 by Siward, Earl of Northumbria. He dedicated it to St Olaf, the patron saint of his native Norway. The church can be accessed from Marygate or the Museum gardens.
Much of the present church dates from the 18th century (~1721), but the lower parts of the north wall and the tower date from the early 16th century. The columns of the aisle are 'Norman' style.
