What to see

Little Milton's parish church is designed in an early 14th-century style, with a single nave and chancel under one roof. The nave windows are flanked with corbel heads on the exterior.

The embattled tower has two windows on each side, with a small rose window on the west and north sides and a clock on the east and south.

Inside, the oldest feature is the drain of a medieval piscina, from the former chapel of Little Milton, installed in a Victorian recess to the left of the altar. The pulpit and reredos are from 1901, by Hems of Exeter.

The stained glass of the east, southeast nave and northeast nave windows are by Thomas Willement in 1853-54. The east and southeast nave windows are signed. The southwest nave window is from 1869 by Heaton, Butler and Bayne.

Across the street from the church is a manor house and a pair of white pepperpot lodges with steeply pitched thatched roofs from c.1820.
