Description

Statue of St Olave

This ancient church recalls York’s Viking past. St Olave’s was dedicated to the patron saint of Norway, St Olaf, in 1055. Olaf was a Viking warrior who attacked London by boat in 1009 and destroyed London Bridge. This attack is thought to be the inspiration for the nursery rhyme ‘London Bridge is falling down’. Olaf converted to Christianity when in England and was responsible for establishing the church of Norway.
