Description
The Church of St. James is a former parish church that is now derelict. It has medieval origins and later additions. The building is constructed of flint with ashlar and some brick dressings, topped with a slate roof. It features a west tower, an aisleless nave that combines the chancel, two former side chapels, and a south porch.
The west tower, which is unbuttressed and has three stages, dates from the 15th century and includes a three-light Perpendicular west window, a dagger traceried sound hole, and a bell-stage that was rebuilt in 1714, as indicated by a datestone. The nave has two Perpendicular traceried windows in blocked openings that once led to the side chapels. There are also two restored 13th-century lancet windows and a Victorian plate traceried east window. On the exterior, there is a cusped piscina from the former north side chapel.
Inside, the church features a 15th-century chancel arch and an arch leading to the former south side chapel. There is a notable 13th-century double piscina with bell capitals and filletted bowtells on the arches. The 15th-century porch has moulded archways and a stoop. The interior also includes a Victorian hammerbeam roof. There are no furnishings remaining.
