Church of St James

The Church of St James is a Church of England building constructed between 1829 and 1831 by architects Atkinson and Sharpe. This classical church is made of coursed, squared stone and features a frieze and eaves cornice. The central bay of the gabled west end projects and rises as a square tower topped with an octagonal drum and dome, showcasing simple and severe detailing. The doors and windows are framed with plain architraves and cornices above. There is a central west door along with blind doors in the western bays of the five-bay returns. Quadrant spiked railings enclose the angles between the tower and the west wall. At the east end, there is a plain pediment and a blank tripartite window adorned with a Doric entablature. Additionally, there is a small later 19th-century addition to the east.
