Church Of St James

The Church of St James is a church built between 1833 and 1834, designed by J Trubshaw as a Commissioners Church. It is faced with sandstone ashlar and features a west tower, a nave with two aisles, and a chancel. The three-stage tower has a simple hood mould over the west door and a Perpendicular style window above it, along with a clock and paired foiled bell chamber lights. Polygonal angle buttresses rise to form pinnacles, and the embattled parapet is adorned with traceried panels. The aisles, divided into six bays by buttresses that also form pinnacles, have decorated style windows and embattled parapets. The north porch slightly projects from the aisle's building line. Above, the clerestory features two-light traceried windows and a parapet. The apsidal chancel includes Perpendicular style two-tier windows with hood moulds supported by corbel heads.

Although the interior was not inspected, it is reported to have a polygonal east end with a window from 1874 by Cappronier, along with north and south vestries, a sacristy, and an organ chamber, which are partly modifications from around 1889. There is a stone west gallery with vestibules and stairs in the western aisle bays, a truss roof, pews, and a notable monument by Baily from 1843.
