Swafield Parish Church

© Godric Godricson

Swafield is an example of a beautiful small parish Church in North Norfolk. The Cemetery is small and well maintained. the grass is short cropped and this forms a pathway around the Church. The monuments are well presented and the Churchyard presents as a sort of 'park' in the best sort of way. This is a good place to visit and for all the right reasons.
