Church of St James

The Church of St James is a Grade II listed building constructed from rusticated coursed and squared rubble with ashlar dressings and a slate roof, which features two colors and terracotta ridge cresting. The chancel roof is adorned with wrought iron brattishing. This church exhibits a simple early Decorated style and consists of a nave, transepts, and an apsidal chancel.

The south-west entrance is located in a gabled buttressed porch that has a chamfered archway beneath a hood mould, topped with a wrought iron finial on the coped gable. There is a similar porch in the re-entrant angle of the south transept. The nave has paired foiled lancets, while the transepts feature paired foiled lights and three-light plate traceried windows in their gabled south and north walls. The canted apsidal chancel includes foiled lancets on each face, angle buttresses, and is topped with a bellcote.

Inside, the nave comprises three bays and has a king post and strut roof with wrought iron ties that spring from wall posts supported by corbels. A similar pendant truss is found over the crossing. The chancel arch has cylindrical responds with foliate capitals. The chancel floor is laid with encaustic tiles. The church retains its original pews and pulpit, along with an eagle lectern from 1892. A free-standing organ, built in 1905, is located in the north transept. The stained glass includes figures of evangelists in the chancel, likely dating from the time the church was built, along with a window in the south transept from 1877 and another in the north transept by Gibbs and Howard of London from 1882.
