Church Of St James The Great

The Church of St James the Great is a parish church built between 1880 and 1882, designed by Charles Hodgson Fowler. It is constructed from coursed dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features plain tile roofs. The building has a chamfered plinth, a moulded cill band, and ashlar coped gables, with the chancel and nave covered by a single roof.

The west front includes a single three-light pointed arch window with panel tracery and a moulded hood. On the south front, the chancel has two flat-headed two-light windows with panel tracery, while the nave features a single three-light window and a two-light window with flat heads and simple cusped tracery. To the left, there is a projecting gabled porch with a chamfered and moulded outer arched doorway, accessible by four steps. The east front has a single three-light pointed arch window, and the north front contains three flat-headed two-light windows with cusped tracery in the nave. The chancel is partially obscured by a projecting lean-to vestry, which has a two-light west window and a tall chamfered stone chimney stack. Between the nave and chancel, there is an octagonal wooden cupola or bellcote with a slate-hung base and an octagonal spire.

Inside, the church features a double chamfered stone chancel arch, an open wooden roof with arched braces and collars, and a boarded roof in the chancel. The interior includes a stone altar with a painted wooden reredos, wooden choir stalls, an altar rail, a pulpit, and pews. There is also a moulded octagonal stone font.
