Church Of Saint James The Apostle

The Church of Saint James the Apostle is a Grade II listed building constructed in 1856 by G. Shaw. It is built from tooled ashlar and features a slate roof. The church comprises a nave with a clerestory, an aisle, and a south-west tower located south of the aisles and the west door. The chancel includes a north organ chamber and a vestry. The nave and aisle have five bays, with triple-lancet clerestory windows and small coupled-lancet windows in the aisles. Notable architectural details include a stone plinth, continuous sill, hood-moulds, and weathered buttresses. The chancel has three bays, angled buttresses, a three-lancet east window, and a vestry with a pinnacle-like chimney. The roof is steeply pitched with coped gables. The four-stage tower features angled buttresses, banding on the arched south door, lancet openings on each stage, and a broach spire with gableted spire-lights. Inside, the chamfered nave arcade is supported by circular columns with moulded capitals, and the roofs are adorned with arch-braced trusses.
