Welcome to our website

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

This is a new website with much to do but have a browse now.

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.

   They are four  of the eight churches of the Woodfield Team of churches, covering the area for North-West Leicestershire from Normanton le Heath down to Norton-juxta-Twycross, and from Moira on the Derbyshire border across to Swepstone. Much of this area lies within the National Forest.
