St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate Church

Small church in the arch over the street. Worth a visit.

I rarely ever review churches, because I don't like reviewing something that many consider sacred. However, I feel the need to comment on this tiny church, which was such a spectacularly quiet and peaceful place in such an unusual location. It was wonderfully quaint, set in a very unusual setting for a church (being over the gate). Take a moment to enjoy the quiet here, and take a look at the awesome stained glass window too, which at our time of visiting was illuminated beautifully by the sun.

Small citygate that you walk under. Climb some steps to a church the size of your lounge. Awesome. Free entrance.

Not at all what one would expect. A 'real' church built over an ancient gatehouse arch...remarkable. A quiet place of peace and reflection.
Unfortunately a steep staircase is the only access, but if you can negotiate this, you must visit.

Really cute little church, with beautiful stained glass windows. It has a long rich history which you can learn all about if you visit.

The most beautiful church in such an unexpected place! My breath was taken away by the glorious Harvest displays & the peace of that ancient building which is obviously so loved & cared for.

History is all around worth to visit this small crunch n area around

Atmospheric and restful place for worship and contemplation
