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.
