About the House
 St
Swithin’s House started life as a half timbered glebe
farmhouse in the 1600’s before eventually becoming the
Vicarage to St Swithin’s Church. When it became empty during
1979 it was put to use by the local church and also became a
place of retreat for parish groups and young people from
Christian organisations and inner city churches.
Following a full restoration
in 1989/90 the St Swithin’s House Trust was set up as a
charity to administer and look after the building and ensure
its continued use by Christian groups. The self-catering
accommodation in the refurbished house is now let for
daytime use with the options for overnight stays for
meetings, house parties and other activities that encourage
Christian beliefs and help extend the knowledge of Christ’s
love to others.
St Swithin’s House is also available for use as a Church
Hall for the parish of Barston and its parishioners.
