Huddington
Anglican: St James.
St James dates back to the 12th century and there is work from several later periods. C F Whitcombe completed a major rebuilding and restoration in 1900. The church lies in the grounds of Huddington Court which was closely linked to the Gunpowder Plot. It is usually open during daylight hours.
