More about this scene

St Swithin's is an isolated church in a pretty location. Local geology provided the brick-sized stones for building the unbuttressed tower. More costly granite, however, was used for pinnacles, windows and the arcades of the interior. The church is best known for its carved bench ends. Nearby is the small St Swithin's holy well.
