Welcome to Swinford

Swinford is a small village located in the county of Leicestershire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Avon and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. In the Middle Ages, Swinford was an important centre for the wool trade, and many of the buildings in the village date from this period.

One of the most notable features of Swinford is its church, St. Peter's. This beautiful building dates back to the 13th century and is a Grade II* listed building. It is known for its impressive tower, which stands at over 100 feet tall and can be seen from miles around. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Despite its small size, Swinford has a strong sense of community. The village has a primary school, a pub, and a village hall, which hosts a range of events throughout the year. There are also several local clubs and societies, including a cricket club and a gardening club. Swinford is a peaceful and welcoming place, and its residents are proud of their village and its heritage.
