Church of St Cyriac and St Julitta and the church of St Mary, Swafffham Prior, Cambs.



The church of St Cyriac and St Julitta on the Left, the church of St Mary on the right.



When the neighbouring parishes of Reach and Swaffham Prior were amalgamated in 1667 the new parish had a choice of places of worship. St Mary’s is the current parish church. Both churches have at various times fallen into disuse, one being favoured over the other until a demolition order was issued for the removal of St Cyriac and St Julitta in 1878. The parish, however, could not be parted with their spare church and it is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
