St Jamess Church

St James's Church is a parish church built between 1840 and 1841 by R Carver of Taunton. The church includes an organ chamber, baptistery, and a south porch, which were added by G Vialls. The structure consists of a nave, chancel, south porch, baptistery at the west end, south vestry, and organ chamber. The walls are made of ham stone ashlar with a chamfered plinth, and the roof is slate with stone gable copings. At the west gable, there is a stone bell-cote topped with a pinnacle and a cross at the east gable. The nave has four bays separated by buttresses and features 2-light Perpendicular-style windows. The east window has three lights with curvilinear tracery, and there is a loop-hole-cross above it. The baptistery is lower and has diagonal buttresses, with 2-light stone mullions and Perpendicular tracery. Throughout the church, the labels have foliage stops, and the south porch features a three-centred arch with moulded jambs and a label with angel stops. The gable coping has a cross at the apex, and there is a scallop-shell motif above the doorway, which has a two-leaf plank door. The interior fittings have been removed, and Chedington Church is now redundant.
