is St Olave church in Exeter still standing?
« on: Saturday 23 October 04 10:23 BST (UK) »
Hello all

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section I was not sure where to post it.

I am interested in the St Olave Church in Exeter and if it is still standing today. I have an ancester buried there in 1794  a Margaret Duffield.

Many thanks

Hi Darcy

Many thanks for that it's so nice to see  that it's still standing. There seems like there is a lot of history attached to that church.
