Kenny Hill St James? church

Kenny Hill is a relatively new parish which was once a hamlet of Mildenhall. The church was built in 1895 and replaced a temporary, 19 year old iron clad structure. It was built in the style of an Early-English church and of traditional flint and stone. The symbolic tower is octagonal from the bottom with a conical cap above the belfry. H. Munro Cautley likened it to a sharpened lead pencil. The alignment is northeast-southwest with the small entrance porch set in the latter. Inside the three-bay nave there is nothing of historical interest. The narrow chancel contains nothing more than the basic accoutrements for conducting a service. It was declared redundant in the 1970s and was bought by Evangelists who still use it as a Sunday school. It is open weekdays, 10 am to 3 pm, if you are sufficiently curious.
