	St Olave Hart Street
		St Olave Hart Street is an Anglican church in the City of London, located on Hart Street near Fenchurch Street railway station.
		St Olave's has a modest exterior in the Perpendicular Gothic style with a somewhat squat square tower of stone and brick, the latter added in 1732.
		The interior of St Olave's only partially survived the wartime bombing; much of it dates from the restoration of the 1950s.

	St Olave Hart Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is dedicated to the patron saint of Norway, King Olaf II of Norway, who fought alongside the Anglo-Saxon King Ethelred the Unready against the Danes in the Battle of London Bridge in 1014.
		It is deservedly famous for the macabre 1658 entrance arch to the churchyard, which is decorated with grinning skulls.
		The church was a favourite of the diarist Samuel Pepys, who worked in the nearby Navy Office and worshipped regularly at St Olave's.

	St Martin in the Field (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		St Martin In The Fields is not only the most well known of the parish churches in London, it is probably one of the best known in the world.
		The Archbishop of Canterbury mediated and decided in favour of the Abbot, so St Martin was probably used by monks from Westminster until 1542, when Henry VIII built a church which was added to in 1609 by Prince Henry, brother of the future Charles I (who was christened here).
		The church has an box pew for the Admiralty (who, at one time, worshipped at St Olaves Hart Street) and it is festooned with the Royal Navy White Ensign and the flag of the Admiralty Board.

	St Olaves, Hart Street (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		When I visit London, and disembark at Fenchurch Street Station, so long as I'm not in a hurry I try to step round the corner to the nearest church, St Olaves which stands at the corner of Hart Street and Seething Lane.
		The pulpit is 17th century, originally came from the now destroyed St Benet's Gracechurch and may be a Gibbons work, and there are swordrests and Communion rails which date to the same period.
		However, despite its ingrained sense of intimacy, there is one other aspect of St Olave's which adds to its atmosphere, and that is its most important historic connection: the parishioner Samuel Pepys.

	September 2nd
		Near St. Paul's, on the south side of Basing Lane, there existed, until a very few years since, the pillared vaults of an old Norman house, known as Gerrard's Hall; it is mentioned by Stow as the residence of John Gisors, mayor of London, 1245.
		Catherine Cree, on the north side of Leaden-hall Street, was rebuilt in 1629, and is chiefly remarkable for its consecration by Archbishop Laud, with an amount of ceremonial observance, particularly as regarded the communion, which led to an idea of his belief in transubstantiation, and was made one of the principal charges against him.
		The range of houses in the main street, and the quaint old church-gate, were built in the year 1660; so short a time before the fire, that we may study in them the `latest fashions' of London-street architecture at that period.

	London In 1731 Page 4
		This street over the bridge is as much thronged, and has as brisk a trade as any street in the city; and the perpetual passage of coaches and carriages makes it troublesome walking on it, there being no posts to keep off carriages as in other streets.
		The chief streets and places comprehended in it, are part of Whitechapel Street, the Minories, Houndsditch, and the west side of Petticoat Lane.
		The Custom House is situated on the north side of the Thames, between the Tower and Billingsgate, consisting of two floors, in the uppermost of which, in a wainscoted magnificent room, almost the whole length of the building, and fifteen feet in height, sit the commissioners of the customs, with their under officers and clerks.

	Plague in London: spatial and temporal aspects of mortality
		In 1593 the first parish to show increased mortality was again St Botolph but this was very early in the year, during the week beginning 15 April, and this must be considered extraordinarily early for bubonic plague.
		St Botolph was again the first parish to show signs of increasing mortality in 1625 but this was even earlier than before, during the week beginning 11 March.
		St Katharine by the Tower had increased burials at the end of April but it was not until the week beginning 13 August that deaths began to increase in St Stephen Walbrook in the city centre.

		This church is dedicated to Olave Haraldson (995-1030), king and national patron saint of Norway.
		St Olave’s survived the Great Fire due to the efforts of Admiral William Penn and Samuel Pepys who, as the blaze approached, had houses blown up to save the Navy Office.
		One of the smallest churches in the City of London, St Olave’s was described by John Betjeman as "a country church in the world of Seething Lane".

		Until the 20th century, the parish church of The Clothworkers' Company was St. Dunstan-in-the-East.
		This church was also damaged in the war but was rebuilt in the same form, making it now the smallest of the City's intact medieval churches.
		It is particularly appropriate that The Clothworkers' Company should be associated with St. Olave's, whose rector is the Company chaplain, because it was the parish church of Samuel Pepys, Master 1677-8.

		grandparents were (I believed) married at St. Olve, Hart St. London in 1809 but wonder now on reading the replies you received to your query, if this is the case.
		St Olave, Hart Street is in the City and shouldn't be confused with St Olave Southwark which is in Tooley Street.

	London - Round About The Tower
		The Romans contented themselves with a brick lining that still exists under the marble slabs, but the latter have an interest of their own, for they came from the famous bath built in the Earl of Essex's house near by, which Queen Bess herself is said to have been the first to use.
		She was a powerful lady,-one of the four abbesses who was a baroness ex officio, and she held the lands of the king by a baronage, furnishing her share of men-at-arms.
		There are other interesting things to be seen at St. Olave's : the doorway to the old churchyard that Dickens-lovers will recognise from his description in the Uncommercial Traveller, the carved pulpit and quaint vestry and several fine old monuments, and, as I mentioned before, part of the old Roman wall.

		In St Andrew Holborn (Wren's largest City Church) Ernst Kovacic's violin sounded splendid, especially in a Kreisler selection, but there was a similar problem with David Ownen Norris's piano playing when the music was dense, as in the Brahms C minor scherzo.
		Here things were improved by resorting to a trick learnt at St Giles Cripplegate and St James's Piccadilly, in both of which many concerts are given.

		Olave’s is restful and comforting, both in its interior -- with whitewashed walls and warm oak ceiling -- and from its charming churchyard, now a pleasant little garden that overlooks its rustic ragstone form.

		Of the 86 destroyed by the Fire, 51 were rebuilt along with St Paul's Cathedral.

		After Wren, Hawksmoor was by common consent London's most significant church architect, being responsible in his own right for six great churches of which most still stand in the East End of London.
