St James Chapel Circa 25 Metres North Of Postlip Hall

St James' Chapel is a Roman Catholic chapel located approximately 25 metres north of Postlip Hall. It dates back to the 12th century and is constructed from limestone ashlar with a stone slate roof featuring coped gables. A small stone bell turret sits over the chancel arch, topped with a ball finial, and the chancel has a saddle stone with a cross.

This small two-cell Norman church now serves as a private chapel. The north doorway is adorned with a Norman chevron and ball enrichment above single order shafts with cushion capitals, and the tympanum is decorated with a fish-scale pattern. Below this is a fine Victorian plank door with strap hinges and a lock plate, set within a very flat three-centred head. To the right of the doorway is a very small slit window and a low-set buttress flyer. The chancel features a small slit window, while the east and west walls each have a three-light Perpendicular window, with the west window positioned above a recess that includes Norman columns.

The chapel was in significant decay and used as an implement house for the estate during the 1960s, but it underwent extensive restoration around 1880, and the interior reflects that period. The chapel forms a group with Postlip Hall and the Tithe Barn.
