Welcome to our website

Welcome to the website of the 4 churches of Appleby, Swepstone, Snarestone and Norton-juxta-Twycross

The churches of Snarestone, Norton juxta Twycross, Appleby and Swepstone  serve a parish made up of several different communities: Appleby Magna and Parva, Swepstone, Newton Burgoland, Norton juxta Twycross and Snarestone.
