Church of Saint James the Great

The Church of Saint James the Great is a church with a long history, originally dating to the 12th century. A north aisle was added around 1200, the chancel was remodelled in the 13th century, and a north transept and south porch were constructed during the same period. The church was restored in 1892, most likely including a re-roofing of the nave. The church is built of uncoursed stone rubble, with stone slate roofs to the chancel and north aisle; the roofs of the nave and tower are not visible.

The south side features a 19th-century plank double door within a Romanesque round-arched doorway with a roll moulding and billet hood. Adjacent is a 13th-century stone open porch comprised of three hallow-chamfered orders on jamb shafts with bell capitals, with quatrefoil-section responds, bell capitals and a hollow-chamfered arch. The nave has an irregular pattern of 2-light stone mullion windows with hood moulds, with a 2-light Plate-tracery window to the right. Further 2-light stone mullion windows are placed to the left and right of the chancel, and the east end has a triple lancet framed by a hood mould.

The north side displays a lancet window to the right of the chancel. A 3-light stone mullion window is positioned to the left return of the north transept. Further 2-light Reticulated-tracery windows are located at the north end of the transept. A 2-light stone mullion window with Perpendicular lights sits to the left of the north aisle, alongside a blocked round-arched doorway. Two additional 2-light Rectilinear-tracery windows are present to the right and to the right of center. A single lancet is situated at the west end of the aisle and at the base of the tower. The bell chamber of the tower has a 2-light Reticulated-tracery louvred opening on each side.

Inside, the chancel features a 3-bay arch-braced collar truss roof with a moulded mid-purlin and principal braces, alongside 17th and 18th century memorials. A 17th-century wood altar rail with a baluster balustrade is present. The Romanesque round chancel arch has roll-mouldings and shafts with bell capitals. The nave features a 7-bay Perpendicular-style roof with carved bosses, and an 18th-century hexagonal wood pulpit on a stone base. A north arcade, comprised of four two-centred arches on round piers with trumpet-scalloped capitals, connects to the north aisle and transept. A 2-bay Perpendicular-style roof covers the north transept. A probable 14th-century lean-to roof extends over the north aisle, characterised by moulded principal rafters. Also within the north aisle is a Romanesque round stone font on a spreading base, and a 4-centre arch provides access from the nave to the tower.
