Description
St Olaf's Church in Cullivoe, Yell, was built in 1832 and remodelled in 1886. It is a symmetrical, one by four-bay hall church with a rectangular plan, featuring a single-storey entrance porch and a vestry that project from the east and west gables, respectively. The walls are harled with painted margins and a base course.
The west entrance gable is symmetrical, with an advanced centre bay that includes a projecting single-storey gabled entrance porch. This porch has a vertically-boarded timber door set in a round-arched opening, topped by a blind fanlight. Above this, there is a round-arched recess with a rectangular window. The centre bay breaks the eaves, resembling a tower, and features a crenellated wallhead with a centrally placed crenellated bellcote that houses a bell. The gable is framed by plain buttresses that also break the eaves with crenellated heads.
The south elevation is a symmetrical four-bay design with tall round-arched windows with high sills in the centre bays and rectangular windows in the outer bays. The east gable has a single-storey vestry that projects at ground level, with a two-bay south elevation featuring a window and a vertically-boarded timber door in the left and right bays, respectively. A round-arched window is centred in the principal gable behind.
The north elevation is also symmetrical, with two tall round-arched windows flanking the centre. The principal windows are border-glazed with coloured glass, while there is a modern vestry window. The roof is made of purple-grey slate, with concrete copes on the skews and crenellations, and there is a decorative cast-iron finial on the porch.
Inside, there is a panelled timber gallery at the east end. The church is enclosed by a harl-pointed rubble boundary wall that is canted to the east, featuring a timber gate at the centre flanked by cement-rendered gatepiers, with an additional gate in the west wall.
