Church Of St James

The Church of St. James is a parish church located in Bierton with Broughton, dating back to the 14th century and restored in 1853. It is built from limestone and features a cruciform plan with a central tower topped by a small lead spire. The aisles of the nave were raised, likely in the 16th or possibly the 17th century, to accommodate galleries and are illuminated by upper windows in the late Perpendicular style. Other windows date from the 14th and 15th centuries and are traceried. The church has a flat lead roof with parapets, while the tower has a corbel table. The chancel roof is covered with slate, and there is a modern timber porch on the north side.

Inside, the church boasts finely moulded nave arcades consisting of four bays and crossing arches. The south transept features two ornamental ogee arched doorways. The nave roof has a low pitch and is constructed with moulded timbers from the 15th and 16th or 17th centuries. The font is a Norman tub shape with cable mouldings. There are traces of wall paintings and 14th-century floor tiles present in the church.
