St Olave's Church

Down on Lower Bridge Street is the deconsecrated church of St Olave (or Olaf). Restores in the 19th century, the building dates to before the Norman Conquest and reflects the Scandinavian influence in the city, from the days when England was partly under Danelaw. There was evidence of a Scandinavian moneyers directly opposite this building.
