"The Rising" St Peter & St Paul by the Mill by

St Peter & St Paul’s is just behind the Market Square in the historic market town of Olney. It is a fine 14th Century Church and its spire has ten bells in the tower. The lane from the church leads to the 18th century Water Wheel Mill on the River Great Ouse.

Olney has historical links with John Newton (author of Amazing Grace) and Henry J Gauntlett (composer of the melody for Once in Royal David’s City). It is also world famous for its annual pancake race first run in 1445 and since 1950, after accepting a challenge , is now run in competition with the town of Liberal in Kansas USA.
