We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Swaffham Prior was often known as Great Swaffham in past centuries. Swaffham Prior is perhaps best known for its two churches (Saint Mary's and Saints Cyriac and Julitta's) in the same churchyard.
On this site we have reproduced by kind permission of the author, a web version of Elizabeth Everitt's very interesting booklet on the history of the churches (see below).
Copies of a shortened version covering just St Mary's are available to buy in St Mary's and similarly a more recent booklet on the history of St Cyriac's in St Cyriac's.
Just down the road to the East is the Devil's Dyke; an ancient earthwork.
This provides good walking opportunities with views across the surrounding countryside and has some interesting plants growing on it.
The National Trust's Wicken Fen Vision will extend the area of fen being restored to its natural state to include areas of fen within the parish.
Cycle and walking routes being established in connection with this are readily accessible from the village.
