Chapel of St James

The Chapel of St James, also known as a Chapel of Ease, was built in 1722 by William Sands Senior from Spalding, with alterations made in 1886. It is constructed of red brick with limestone ashlar dressings. The chapel features an octagonal slate roof over the nave, topped with a lead pyramidal finial, and a slate polygonal roof over the chancel. The eaves are moulded brick.

The chapel has an octagonal nave from 1722, with a polygonal chancel and a north vestry added in 1886 on the east side. The ashlar dressed plinth supports seven exposed sides of the nave, each defined by giant order pilasters with ashlar capitals and bases. The west doorway is ashlar dressed and features a semi-circular head, moulded architrave, imposts, a panelled fanlight, and double panelled doors. Above the doorway is a large scrolled cartouche adorned with palms and the inscription: "P A 52 DEO PFSS ECCLESIAE ANGLICANAE EVI REE REST IfD ASH MDCCXXII". Flanking the doorway are single blind openings with semi-circular headed ashlar architraves and imposts. Each side of the doorway has two windows with similar architraves, semi-circular heads, and leaded lights.

The north side of the chapel includes the vestry from 1886, which has a west doorway with an ashlar lintel and a plank door. This side is flanked by giant order ashlar dressed pilasters and features a small semi-circular headed window with an ashlar architrave and imposts. The eastern apse, also from 1886, has giant order pilasters and three similar windows.

Inside, there is a 19th-century chancel arch with a basket arch supported by pilasters. The curved west gallery from 1722 has fielded panelling and fluted pilasters, supported on slender columns. A large 20th-century rood screen in the Classical style is present, along with a domed ceiling over the nave, defined by a painted band of foliage and daisies. The chapel also contains an 18th-century white and grey marble font on a tall panelled tapering pedestal with clawed feet, a fluted bowl with small volutes, and an ornate ogee wooden hood. There are 19th-century pews and a communion rail, as well as 18th-century pine benches in the west gallery.
