Welcome to St Mary's Swinstead
St Mary’s stands at the heart of this beautiful stone-built village.
The life of the church is integral to the life of the whole community. Not only in the marking of seasons of the year but also in the key moments in the lives of families and neighbours.
The main provision of weekly worship is traditional in flavour, but there are regular services for the whole family.
The worship of our churches expresses the richness of the tradition of the Anglican church.
