History

St Swithun's from the south west

The Church was built of flint and rubble around 1175. It is considered to be the best largely unspoilt example of a Norman single-cell apsidal church in England. There are only four examples remaining in the UK. A gallery was installed in 1591 and rebuilt together with the roof in 1786. Binstead stone forms the door and window dressings.

Services

Services normally take place in each of the churches within the United Parish including St Swithun's twice per month. The church is never locked by day.
