Welcome to our website for the churches in the Benefice of the Lower Swale. Our churches can be found in villages to the west of Northallerton in North Yorkshire.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The River Swale flows through our Benefice and we have named the two areas as ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ churches.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We are part of the <\/strong>Church of England<\/span><\/a><\/strong> in the <\/strong>Diocese of Leeds.<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you would like any more information which you cannot find on this site, please get in touch using <\/span>the details on the Contacts<\/a> page or on the individual church pages.  You can also find detailed maps showing the location of each church on the church pages.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to welcoming you to our churches and to our services and activities.<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
