St Peter and St Paul, Olney by Mike Gillam
St Peter and St Paul - Olney
Grade I listed Church Of Saints Peter And Paul at Olney dates to the 14th Century although local traditions say an earliier church was located at a different site in the village, and this is supported by the apparent lack of earlier architecture in the current building.
Significant works were carried out in the 19th Century including removal of the clerestory along with internal roof carvings. It was noted in 1825 that several carved figures and heads from the church where found throughout the buldings and gardens of the town.
The church also features fine, stained glass windows dating to the late 19th and 20th Centuries.
