HISTORY

On Madmarston Hill, just north of Swalcliffe, is an Iron Age hill fort. A Roman villa was also found at Swalcliffe Lea as well as an old Roman road which is now a bridleway. According to authorities, a Roman or Romano-British village existed in this area.

The name Swalcliffe is derived from the Old English words swealwe and clif which mean a slope of cliff that is frequented by swallows.

The church, dedicated to saints Peter and Paul, was built during Anglo-Saxon times but was rebuilt in the 12th and 14th centuries.
