The National Monuments Service's description
St Olave's parish church (WA009-005022-) had a graveyard that is depicted as a confined L-shaped area on the N and E sides of the church on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is still extant but the original graveyard must have been much larger. Archaeological testing (Licence No. 03E0694) by Orla Scully just to the E on a site where there had been cellars produced no evidence of the graveyard. (Scully 2006, P 511, No. 1927b; 2007, P 429, No. 1694)
