St Botolph’s is a pretty little church in the village of Swyncombe. The church was built in the 11th century but was restored in 1831. Inside, you can observe a Norman font and 19th-century benches. St Botolph’s is Grade II-listed.

The church is known as the Snowdrop Church. In February the churchyard is carpeted with the white flowers. They do "snowdrop teas" in aid of church funds. This year (2022) the teas are from 2 - 4pm on 12/13, 19/20 and 26/267 February.

Also the church itself is now open 24/7 (correct as of 19/01/2022). Muddy boots off before entering!
