The small village of Swaffham Prior is dominated by its twin churches.

The church of St Mary was built in Norman times, and had been allowed to fall into ruin, being fully restored at the start of the 20th century.

The original church of St Cyriac and St Julitta (Cyriac's mother) was built prior to 1200, and may have existed before 1066. The tower was built in the 15th century. It now serves as a hall for exhibitions and other functions.
