St Olaf's Church, Bude, Medieval parish church in Poughill, Bude-Stratton, England.
The stone structure features a narrow north aisle built of Caen stone and a granite chancel that demonstrates medieval architectural construction methods.
Established in 1250, St Olaf's Church received Grade I listed status for its exceptional architectural elements and centuries of religious service to the community.
The interior contains carved oak bench-ends depicting Passion scenes and ancient frescoes of St Christopher discovered beneath layers of historical whitewash.
The church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors who can access the building through the restored 1897 Lytch Gate entrance.
Six bells housed in the embattled tower mark time passages, while Royal Arms displayed over the vestry door commemorate Charles II's reign.
