Description
The Church of Saint James is a church built in 1862 by Habershon and Pite. It is constructed from small ashlar stone and has a plain tile roof. The church features a west tower topped with a broach spire, a 5-bay nave with a south porch, a one-bay chancel with a polygonal apse, and a north vestry. The design reflects a late 13th-century style.
The west tower includes a moulded plinth, angle buttresses with gablets and offsets, and moulded string-courses. It has 2-light belfry openings with tracery in a Geometrical style, which are set under stopped hoodmoulds, as well as 2-light lucarnes. The nave has a pointed window without tracery on the east side, while all other windows feature tracery in the Geometrical style, with hoodmoulds that have foliated stops. The pointed south door is adorned with continuous mouldings and a hoodmould that includes leaf-stops.
The chancel contains 2-light windows with varying tracery in the Geometrical style, also under hoodmoulds with foliated stops. Inside the church, there is a recumbent effigy created by Frampton, commemorating Mrs. Wilson, who died in 1905.
