A belief that the roof beams came from a Viking longship may have lead to the dedication to St Olaf, the patron saint of Norway in 1974. One can imagine relatives of local climbers saying a silent prayer here; the inscriptions on the graves in the churchyard make for poignant reading.

On the south window is an etching of Napes Needle: Great Gables great rock pinnacle that played such a significant role in the birth of English rock climbing.

The Fell and Rock Climbing Club Memorial Window in a window on the south side is an engraving of Napes Needle with a slight misquote of the opening to Psalm 121 (strength instead of help). This should definitely be seen in your visit to St Olafs but also worth a read are the various documents on the walls about the history of the church. Do also look outside at some of the gravestones. many of these relate to famous climbers
