The Church
The new church of the HOLY CROSS in Swainby village was built in 1877, and consists of chancel with north vestry, nave with north aisle and north-west tower forming the porch, surmounted by a spire.
There is a ring of six bells cast by John Warner & Sons of London, and a clock was presented in 1891 by the Rev. Alleyne Fitz Herbert.
Swainby was always considered to be a manor of Whorlton.
The remains of the church of the HOLY CROSS stand on high ground a little to the east of Whorlton castle and about half a mile to the north-east of Swainby village. Since the erection of the new church the old building has been abandoned, the chancel and tower only retaining their roofs.
The graveyard is still used and the chancel serves as a mortuary chapel.
