Closed for good - they’re looking for someone to run it now

Picturesque village with a school which wouldn't look out of place in a Harry Potter film.

This church has changed very little since 1437, which is quite special and not usual in itself. Many people come here to visit the tomb of Alice de la Pole (Geoffrey Chaucer's granddaughter). A lot of the church is here thanks to the vision of Thomas Chaucer (Geoffrey's son) and his Alice (whose husband was the Duke of Suffolk): they founded a chantry chapel and trust. There are also almshouses here and a school, built in 1432 by Alice and her husband.

A gentle climb, below the Oligarch's mansion to the lovely St Botolph's church at Swyncombe

A good bridleway through the Farm & its cottages, past the 3 Chalets

Parking in the woods. Popular place. Don't leave any valuables in the car.

The bench round the back by the entrance is a sun trap.

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!
