Swallow - Holy Trinity

John Firth, Holy Trinity Church Swallow, CC BY-SA 2.0

Holy Trinity church was started in the Norman period, but after numerous extensions and improvements over the next five centuries went into something of a decline until it was restored by the Victorians, by which time the village also had two Methodist Chapels (both now demolished. The font and the base of the tower are of the earliest period, while piscina is somewhat later, but most of what you can see belongs to the nineteenth century restoration including some rather nice stained glass in the west and south windows and a couple of memorial plaques. The War Memorial is in the churchyard and commemorates three villagers who lost their lives during WWI.

Clixby - All Hallows

Dave Hitchborne, All Hallows, Clixby, CC BY-SA 2.0

This little roadside church is the thirteenth-century chancel of a larger church which was a ruin until 1889, when the chancel was gently restored and a west porch added. Inside you can see a fourteenthcentury stone slab with an incised cross and chalice commemorating a priest, and Latin inscriptions in praise of the Virgin Mary adorn the wooden ceiling. A fine font and pews have been rescued from other historic churches. Please take care when parking and crossing the road.
