St Swithun's Church, East Grinstead, Grade II* listed church in East Grinstead, England.
St Swithun's Church stands on a hilltop near East Grinstead's entrance, where ancient tracks meet, featuring architectural elements from multiple periods.
Following a lightning strike that destroyed the original 11th-century structure in 1772, architect James Wyatt completed the current church building in 1789.
The church displays two oil paintings and organ pipes decorated with parishioner portraits by Douglas Yeoman Blakiston, who served as vicar from 1871 to 1908.
Weekly Eucharist services take place every Wednesday at 10 am, lasting 39 minutes, with refreshments served afterward for community gathering.
Three stones near the church entrance mark the remains of Protestant martyrs executed in 1556, later misidentified in local folklore as witches.
