Church Of St James

The Church of St James is a parish church located in Pulloxhill. The chancel is mainly medieval, while the rest of the church was rebuilt between 1845 and 1846 by J. T. Wing. It is constructed of coursed ironstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features clay tile roofs with stone coping on the gables. The church comprises a chancel, nave, and west tower/porch.

The chancel includes a 14th-century pointed-arched three-light east window and a 15th-century pointed-arched two-light window on the north side. The south elevation has two 15th-century three-light windows with four-centred arches, one of which is truncated by the east wall of the nave, making it appear as a single light from the inside. There is also a small south doorway.

The nave features three 14th-century style two-light pointed-arched windows on both the north and south sides, showcasing a variety of tracery. The south elevation has a small square-headed window at the west end that lights the vestry.

The west tower/porch has three stages, an embattled parapet, and diagonal buttresses. It contains two-light pointed-arched windows in the bell stage. The west elevation features a pointed archway topped by a rose window, while the north elevation has a square-headed single-light window in the middle stage.

Inside the church, there are several monuments in the chancel, including a brass memorial to George Fitz, who died in 1608, and his wife Anne. There is a marble wall monument to Sir William Briers, who died in 1653, along with his two wives, Anne and Arabella, erected by Arabella. This monument features a bust of Sir William in an oval recess within an ornate pedimented surround. Additional memorials include a brass for Dame Anne Briers, who died in 1631, and a floor slab for Dame Arabella Briers, who died in 1662. The chancel retains a 15th-century three-bay crown-post roof, while Wing's nave has a decorative five-bay queen post roof with curved braces, a wood gallery at the west end, and a square font.
