St. Olave (Hart Street)

The church of St. Olave, Hart Street, dedicatred to St. Olaf, is found on the south side of Hart Street and the northwest corner of Seething Lane in Tower Street Ward. It has been suggested that the church was founded and built before the Norman conquest of 1066 (Harben). Aside from mentioning the nobility buried in St. Olave’s, Stow is kind enough to describe the church as a proper [i.e. appropriate] parrish (Stow). Samuel Pepys is buried in this church.
St. Olave, Hart Street features on the Agas map west of the label Herte Str., its bell tower (marked A) and nave protruding above the surrounding buildings. It is drawn in the same geographical position as the same church on Benjamin Cole’s 1754 engraving of Tower Street Ward (Cole).
