"The least spoilt church in Cornwall"
St Swithin's Church is situated just off the main road from Stratton to Holsworthy in a quiet, wooded valley, by a stream. It is Grade 1 listed and well maintained, being described by Sir John Betjeman as "The least spoilt church in Cornwall". Famous for the
magnificent medieval carved pew ends and encaustic tiles in the chancel, it contains no stained glass, however, much of the original medieval plain glass remains creating a wonderful soft light. In 2024, St Swithin's Church was awarded an A rocha Eco-church Bronze Award.
We have services every 1st, 2nd and 4th Sunday morning at 11.15am in every month and a Taize service every 3rd Sunday at 6.00pm.
The church is open always and enjoyed by many visitors, as is evident from comments in the visitors' book. The church is surrounded by a 'living churchyard', creating a haven for wild life.
