Manor
Swyncombe's toponym is derived from the Old English words Swin for wild boar and combe for valley or hollow.

Parish church
St Botolph's parish church was originally early Norman. The Gothic Revival architect Benjamin Ferrey heavily restored the building in 1850. The font possibly predates the building, but its cover and the rood screen with loft date from early in the 20th century. In the 19th century restoration, medieval wall paintings were found and repainted.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
