Church Of St James

The Church of St James, formerly the Parish Church of Little Tey, has Romanesque origins and features a nave and chancel constructed from coursed rubble and indurated conglomerate. The building includes an east apse, all covered by a single ridged and gabled peg-tiled roof with seven cants and a square overhang above the apse. At the west end, there is a small bell turret on a portal frame, along with a timber south porch from the 19th century and a northern vestry located in the north porch position. The north ends and western quoins are made of conglomerate.

The south doorway, dating from the 11th century, has two square orders and a tympanum on a wooden lintel, featuring roll-moulding and carinate capitals. The south elevation showcases a Norman window, a two-light Y-window from around 1300 with a trefoiled top centre, another Norman window to the north-east of the apse, a Y-window, and an additional Norman window. The east window has been replaced. The turret is white weather-boarded and topped with an obtuse pyramidal slated roof. The west wall contains a two-light cinquefoiled window from the 14th or 15th century, situated beneath a rectangular window at the apex of the truncated gable.
