The parish church at Swinstead, near Bourne, Lincolnshire
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.

Market cross at Swinstead, near Bourne, Lincolnshire
The old stone market cross on high steps stands in the middle of Swinstead and although the date is unknown it bears a resemblance to one that can be found in the market place at nearby Corby Glen that was erected in the reign of Edward III (1312-1377), although this is less elaborate. The market cross was the focal point of the village in past times, where visiting priests preached the word of God, where the annual fairs were held, where proclamations of important local and national events were made and where villagers gathered to meet and to talk and discuss the momentous events that affected their lives.
