Church of St Cyriac and St Julitta, Swaffham Prior

The church features a tower constructed from clunch and flint with limestone dressings, while the main structure uses yellow gault brick.

Built in the Norman period, the church underwent major reconstruction in 1806 by architect Charles Humfrey after the medieval structure deteriorated.

The church shares its churchyard with St Mary's Church, representing a rare instance of two parish churches existing within the same grounds.

Visitors can access the church daily between 11 AM and 4 PM, with opportunities to participate in overnight camping through the champing program.

The tower transitions from a square base to an octagonal lantern, containing six bells that ring for services at the neighboring St Mary's Church.
