The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary the Virgin dates from about 1200. Its unusual open-sided bell-tower was added in 1822.The church is noted for its 17th-century Fettiplace monuments. David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale had Swinbrook House built 1.5 miles 2.4 km north of the village. Four of his six daughters the "Mitford sisters" are buried in the parish churchyard: Nancy, Unity, and Diana are buried side by side, while Pamela is buried northwest of the tower. There is a tablet in the church commemorating their only brother, Tom, killed in March 1945 in Burma. St Mary's also has a monument to the officers and men of the Royal Navy submarine HMS P514, and especially its commander, Lieutenant W.A. Phillimore, whose parents lived at Swinbrook.
Beautiful old church building in the village of Swinbrook, just outside Burford. The main building days from the 12th century and there is a rather peculiar memorial to a local family of dignataries, descended from the Normans called the Fettiplace family.
Relatively ordinary from the outside, but full of interest inside: two AMAZING triple-decker funerary monuments; charming medieval stained glass; medieval stalls with misericords said to be from Burford Priory; and interesting wall tablets. Well worth a detour!
Pig to find but once there very english.
Rest in Peace Dear Miftord Sisters ..
