Said to be the smallest church in Lincolnshire and the only one dedicated to St. Olave, a Norwegian royal prince and the son of King Herald and Queen Aasta.
Ruckland, Lincolnshire
The church on this site previously measured just 31ft long and 17ft wide but by 1880 it was evident that repairs were so urgently necessary that it was decided a complete rebuild was the only solution.
The old church was completely demolished and the stones reused to erect the present church on the same foundations. However as the rector and the churchwardens had not applied for a faculty, the new church was technically a secular building and therefore required rededication before it could be used.
It is absolutely charming with its sandstone walls, plain tiled roof with overhanging eaves and a small bell cote. An interesting feature is the rose window of pierced stone in the west wall. In the north wall is a stone with a foliated cross, being part of the lid of a medieval coffin.
