St James Church is in Old Milverton Village, but the congregation is drawn from all parts of Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth.
The current church was built in 1880, but this has been a place of worship for nine hundred years. The churchyard is on several footpaths that run across to Leamington and down to the River Avon at the Saxon Mill, Warwick, and is a lovely place to stop and relax on a sunny day, to take in the views and soak up the peaceful atmosphere.
The church and grounds are within the Warwick 100 area and the team have been asked to monitor the birds and other wildlife on the site:
