Church History
An ancient parish church, serving part of the city of Chester.
On 11 July 1839 the district was amalgamated with that of Chester: St. Michael, to form the combined district of "St. Michael with St. Olave". In January 1973 this became part of a unified district for the city of Chester.
St. Olave’s continued to be used as a place of worship until June 1972. The building still stands, but is currently disused.
