WELCOME to St Olaf’s, England’s smallest parish church, set in the magnificent surroundings of the Wasdale Valley. On our site you will find details of services and events, a little bit of history, and a selection of stunning photos.
Do get in touch if you would like to know more about the little church at Wasdale Head.

As our restoration appeal gets underway we never lose sight of the fact that we are a Christian church. Do call in for a few moments of quiet, leave a request in our prayer book, or join us for worship on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month. You are all welcome.
St Olaf’s Wasdale Head Parish Church Management Committee has adopted the national Church’s “Promoting a Safer Church; safeguarding policy statement” that puts children, young people, and vulnerable adults at the centre of our concerns.
