- Swaffham Prior, Cambridgeshire (Church of St Cyriac & St Julitta)
This strange and beautiful church is one of two in the same village churchyard.
Until they were amalgamated in 1667, the two neighbouring parishes had their own churches. They both then saw varied fortunes including periods of dereliction until St Mary’s became the formal parish church for both.
St Cyriac & St Julitta has a 15th-century octagonal bell tower and a ring of six bells. The elegant Georgian interior has fantastic acoustics.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Unfortunately, disabled access is very difficult. There are over 20 steep steps up to the church from the roadside and more steps inside the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
