St Mary's church in Swinbrook is quite small; it's hard to imagine more than forty or fifty parishioners being able to comfortably sit in the pews. Most of the building dates from the 12th or 13th century, except for a tower added in the 1800's. That large plain glass window is very striking, and I love how much light it lets into the interior. (The panes of glass were blown out by a land mine in 1940, but the medieval glass was collected and incorporated into another window.)
