This is a return visit To St James Little Milton for me as I have been here before many years ago but could only get photos of the outside. After visiting St Peter Great Haseley I found out that St James Little Milton was open. As I drove past it on my way home I decided to stop off and get a few photos of the church. I knew from the start the church was Victorian so was not expecting to see any older parts to the church that aside I thought it was worth stopping at. Only a couple of lines of history on Wikipedia:-
"The Church of England parish church of Saint James is a Gothic Revival building designed by John Hayward and built in 1844. Hayward also designed the west tower, which was added in 1861."
The the link at the beginning will show the exterior of the church and the small churchyard the photo above is a new photo from when I visited and looks across the churchyard
Inside I found the church quite airy and light
In the chancel to the altar
Looking back towards the West end
Rather nice Pulpit
From the pulpit you see this view of the church
View of the West end and the stained glass window in it
You can see a lot of nice stained glass in the church
The font which is near the entrance as you come in
Over on the South wall of the nave you can see the Roll of honour for Little Milton

How lovely to see the inside of this church. I have been disappointed these last few months when churches have been closed. Well done for going back to take some photos to share.
I'm glad you could visit and see inside the church. It does look light and airy. I like the small details that show that the church is cared for such as the arrangements of flowers placed around. Beautiful stained glass windows and unusual candelabras at the altar. Thank you for sharing. Have a peaceful Sunday and week Bill.
What a charming little church! :)
I have been trying to find out if they are open before going to them, more offten or not they are closed
I felt it was nicer that I was expecting
It is I must admit
It looks like it's still in use and well looked after, nice to see a war memorial inside.
It is still used but I do not know how often, at least one service a month. Most churches have a Roll of Honour in them.
Lovely church! It looks like a peaceful place to meditate or pray.
