Description
The parish church of Swyre is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and stands at the southern end of the parish. John Hutchins, author of the foremost account of the history of Dorset, the History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset, was rector of this church from 1729 until his death in 1778. During Hutchins time as rector he paid out almost forty pounds for repairs to the chancel.
The church was almost totally rebuilt in 1843 with just the chancel arch and the tower untouched.

Wonderful old building. As I am sitting here looking at it another thought strikes me. The stained glass windows in these old churches are unique and very colorful. If it is possible for you to take shots of some of the windows from the inside...you have another series in the making. I have tried some stained glass windows myself. So far I only have one in my gallery. If you'd like to see someone else in England who has done this very well, take a look in the gallery of "rainbows". Have fun, Bill
