context_page_description: Mildenhall is a village and civil parish in the Kennet Valley in Wiltshire, England, about 1 mile east of the market town of Marlborough. The parish contains three communities – the village of Mildenhall, and the hamlets of Poulton and Stitchcombe.
context_section_description: The Church of England parish church of Saint John the Baptist originates from before the Norman Conquest: some parts of the tower are undoubtedly Saxon in date. However, much of the present building dates from the thirteenth century. In 1816 the interior was refurbished by the villagers. Of particular note are the box pews and the twin pulpit and reading desk. In 1966 the church was designated as Grade I listed.
  Sir John Betjeman refers to St. John's as "a church of a Jane Austen novel".Simon Jenkins includes it in his England's Thousand Best Churches.
  St. John's parish is now a member of the Marlborough team ministry.
