Church Of St James

The Church of St James is a parish church built in 1839, possibly by John Davies. It features coursed flint with stone dressings and an old stone tiled roof. The layout includes a small chancel and nave, with a northeast vestry/transept and a south porch. The east end of the chancel has three-light lancet windows, with the center window being taller. Below this is a string course with a small lancet underneath. The corners are supported by clasping buttresses, and the gable has a kneelered design topped with a cross. There are additional lancet windows on the sides.

The gable wall at the east end of the nave includes a gabled stone bellcote. On the south wall, there is a triple lancet window. The west side features a south gabled porch with a pointed arch of two chamfered orders, leading to a pointed south door. The north vestry, which is the same size as the chancel, has a kneelered gable with a weathervane, diagonal buttresses, and a three-light pointed lancet window facing north. There is a pointed door of two orders on the east side. The west wall has clasping buttresses, a kneelered gable, and a three-light lancet window with a tiny lancet in the gable.

Inside, the east window of the chancel has nook shafts that support the rear arches. The side lancets also have continuous keel mouldings. The chancel features two steps leading to a lower east floor made of marble. The furnishings are primarily from the 19th century, except for a 17th-century altar table and stools. The chancel arch is pointed and has two chamfered orders. The nave and vestry/transept also have nook shafts supporting their rear arches. The roof includes a central raised base cruck on corbels. The furnishings are good copies of medieval stalls and an octagonal baluster font.

On the floor to the east, there are three reset headstones: one from 1657 for Howard Kelsey and two from 1682 for John Kelsey. There is a raised early 19th-century Gothic pew at the west end and two similar pews in the raised vestry/transept. High on the west wall hangs an 18th-century Royal Coat of Arms.
