==Pevsner on Sywell== [[File:SywellChurch.JPG|thumb|left|200px|The church at Sywell]] '''Church''' - this has a short tower dating to the 13th century. The pretty stair projection found in the west side of the church is not medieval as it appears. Renovations dating from the 1870s have left the church with an odd feel. There is a [[stained glass]] window by [[Thomas Willement]] dating from 1839, which is very fine. It uses heraldic glass dating from 1580. '''Sywell Hall''' - the hall has a long straight front with two small and one larger gable ends. The house appears to originally date from [[Elizabethan]] times. '''Village''' - many local houses were rebuilt by Lady Overstone in the 1860s - with the (old) school dating to 1861 and the rectory's rebuilding to 1862. The church's plate dates from 1816 and is the work of Patten. The airfield hosts an annual concert called "Music in the Air"[http://www.musicintheair.org.uk]. A combination of classical music and aviation.
