Swaby Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built in 1839 to seat 166. In 1867, at a cost of £717, the chapel was enlarged to seat 250. The chapel was closed c.1970 and subsequently demolished. The schoolroom, situated to the rear of the chapel, survives and is now the village hall. {1}{2}{3}{4} After the First World War, two identical memorial plaques made out of white Carrara marble from Italy were made to honour those who fell during the war. One was hung in the Chapel, and was unveiled and dedicated in 1920. It measures 2.5ft by 1.75ft (1m by 0.5m), with red and black incised letters. When the chapel was demolished in 1978, the plaque was moved to the surviving Sunday-school room turned village hall. It was moved again to its present location in 2001 (see PRN 49554) when the village was considering demolishing the hall. The second was hung in the Church of St Nicolas (see PRN 47459). It was unveiled at the same time in 1920. {5}
