St Olaf's Wasdale Head

Daily Service

Available for 27 days

A service of Morning Prayer from England’s smallest parish church, St Olaf’s at Wasdale Head, set just beyond Wast Water, England’s deepest lake. Surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery, the low-roofed church with its simple wooden pews stands where the valley begins to rise towards Great Gable and Scafell Pike. The service is led by Rosalind Amey and the producer is Andrew Earis. Reading: Psalm 121 Music (sung by St Martin's Voices): All things bright and beautiful For the beauty of the earth Great is thy faithfulness A Gaelic Blessing - John Rutter
