Description

The Church of St Olave is a parish church built in 1885 by W. Scorer. It is constructed from green sandstone rubble with limestone ashlar dressings and features a plain tiled roof adorned with decorative red ridge tiles, overhanging eaves, and bargeboards. A small bellcote is incorporated under the overhanging west gable, supported by a wooden frame.

The church consists of a nave and chancel combined, with a west bellcote. The west front is notable for its large plate wheel window, while the north side has a single lancet window. The east end features a pointed window with three trefoil-headed plate lights. On the south side, there is another single lancet window and a doorway to the west, which has a pointed head and a plank door.

Inside, the church has a 19th-century wagon roof, along with pews, a pulpit, and a lectern from the same period. There is a 20th-century octagonal font, a fragmentary medieval stoup, and two coffin lid fragments inscribed with a foliated cross and a cross, respectively, both re-set in the south wall. A gravestone for Charles Humfrey, who died in 1719, has been re-set in the west wall. Local tradition claims that this is the smallest church in Lincolnshire.
