Here is one of a series of history walks looking at Cheshire churches. 'From the Saxons to St Peter' tells the history of this ancient place of worship standing in the Cheshire village of Swettenham. James explains how evidence unearthed during renovations of 1846 led to the discovery of a Saxon sandstone cross in the foundations. James also takes a complete tour of the inside of the church to highlight artefacts that still remain today from centuries past. A lovely film set in the heart of the Cheshire countryside with stunning aerial views, produced by James Balme of Historic Churches UK .Click https://youtu.be/peefcbNu2eQ to see the video.
