St Olav's or St Olaf's church, Ramsey. The present building replaced an earlier temporary chapel of ease, known as Taggart's Barn (in use from 1849, and also used as a school), built to serve the rapidly growing northern part of Ramsey which had outgrown the parish church of St Paul. Construction of the current church began in 1861, and it was completed and licensed for worship in 1862, though it was not formally consecrated until 1881. It was designed in the Early English/Decorated style by the London architect Michael Manning, comprising a nave, north and south aisles, an apsidal chancel and a vestry, and seated around 480 people. The walls are of local stone with red Whitehaven sandstone dressings to the piers and arches, the roof has open timber framing under Welsh slates, and the floors are laid with red and blue Staffordshire tiles (encaustic tiles in the chancel). The building cost approximately £1,500.
