The remainder are in the British Museum. The parish church is a Grade II listed building dedicated to Saint Nicholas. It was built in 1828 of red brick and has a small bell turret. Lucy Lyttelton Cameron, the children's author was buried here in 1858.〔Joanne Potier, ‘Cameron , Lucy Lyttelton (1781–1858)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 26 August 2014 )〕 An earlier church, dedicated to Saint Margaret, was destroyed by Henry Vane of Belleau manor around 1658. The site of this church is now a cottage garden. Swaby CE School was built in 1857 as a National School; it closed in 1976.
