Olaf II of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1099 words) |
 | The texts which were used for the liturgical celebration of St Olav during most of the Middle Ages, were probably compiled or written by Eystein Erlendsson, the second archbishop of Norway (1161–1189). |
| St Olave Hart Street in the City of London is the burial place of Samuel Pepys and his wife. |
| Another south of London Bridge gave its name to Tooley Street and to the St Olave's Poor Law Union, later to become the Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey: its workhouse in Rotherhithe became the St Olave's Hospital, now an old-people's home a few hundred metres from St Olaf's Church, which is the Norwegian church in London. |
