Description

The Church of St James, formerly known as St Mary, is a former parish church built in 1873 by Edward Haycock junior. It is constructed of rock-faced sandstone and features a roof made of banded red and grey tiles, including fishscale tiles. The church has a nave and chancel, with a south chapel and porch, a north vestry, and a west bellcote.

The exterior showcases a picturesque Decorated style, highlighted by a steep roof and skylight windows. The nave and chapel are adorned with 2-light windows, while the west side has a 4-light window and the east side features a tall 3-light window. The porch is marked by a cusped entrance arch, and the chapel has an east doorway with a shouldered lintel. The gabled bellcote is topped with a single bell.

Although the interior was not inspected, the church was originally built to serve as a parish church and replaced an older structure. It has been redundant since around 1968 and was converted into a house in the 1990s. The Church of St James is recognized for its character as a small 19th-century Gothic-revival village church, retaining its external features and details despite the conversion.
