Swyncombe is a hamlet and large civil parish in the high Chilterns, within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty about 4+1⁄2 miles (7 km) east of Wallingford, Oxfordshire, England.

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

The Domesday Book records that by 1086 he had granted it to Gilbert Crispin,[3] a monk who in 1085 was made Abbot of Westminster.

The rectory was built in a neoclassical style in 1803 by Daniel Harris,[1] who at the time was governor of Oxford Castle and also practised as a building contractor, engineer and architect.

The font possibly predates the building, but its cover and the rood screen with loft date from early in the 20th century.
