St Mary's Church at Swinstead is memorable for the hideous gargoyles looking out from its low 600-year-old tower while neatly clipped yew trees adorn the churchyard. Inside is a large marble monument from 1809 to the fifth and last Duke of Ancaster, depicted kneeling by the tomb of his two wives while the small single manual organ in the church dates back to the early 19th century and is in perfect condition.
