Church Of Saint Swithin

The Church of Saint Swithin is a church built between 1814 and 1820, with a rebuild in 1886 by Smith and Brodrick. It is constructed of grey brick with stone dressings and features a graduated slate roof, showcasing the Gothic Revival style. The building includes a three-stage west tower, a three-bay aisled nave with a north porch, and a two-bay chancel with a north vestry.

The west tower has a plinth and angle buttresses with offsets, along with chamfered strings at each stage. The first and second stages contain trefoil-headed lancets, and there is a clock on the second stage. The belfry features a two-light square-headed window with cusped tracery beneath a hood-mould, and the tower is topped with a crenellated parapet adorned with crocketed corner finials.

The nave has a chamfered plinth and buttresses with offsets, and it is punctuated by two three-light square-headed windows with Perpendicular tracery. The south porch includes a segmental-headed door under a hood-mould, with blank tracery in the apex of the coped gable. The chancel is highlighted by a two-light pointed window with Perpendicular tracery under a hood-mould with foliate stops, and a prominent four-light east window with similar tracery and hood-mould featuring monarch stops. The chancel is capped with a raised coped gable and a cross finial on shaped kneelers.
