St Mary's Lower Swell

St Mary's Church Lower Swell is half 12th Century Church and half Victorian extension. It is currently used as a festival church and a space for the school to hold services and events. 

Our Christmas Service is a joint service with the school and is on Thursday 21st December at 5.30pm. 

We are planning an Easter service for 2024 and would welcome ideas about how to reopen the church.
