This small market town attracts a high number of visitors for two main reasons. One major attraction is its annual pancake race. In 1445, a housewife ran to church with her frying pan in hand after hearing the bells marking the start of the shriving service. The women of Olney recreate this run each Shrove Tuesday. The town is also the home of the Olney Hymns – a collection which includes the world famous Amazing Grace.
