Description
The Church of St James is a 19th-century building constructed of random sandstone rubble and topped with Welsh slate roofs. It is a single-cell structure oriented from northwest to southeast, featuring an entrance on the east side and an altar on the west. The church includes a chancel apse and a gabled entrance porch.
On the south elevation, there are four two-light windows with leaded lattices and pointed lights, along with strip buttresses at either end. To the left is a half-octagon chancel, and to the right is the gabled porch. The roof is plain and gabled, with a small bellcote located at the right (eastern) end, supported by modillion brackets and housing a single small bell. The rear wall is blind and constructed of rougher stone. The entrance features a gabled porch with a pointed head door and a circular light above it, adorned with trefoil tracery.
The interior details were not available at the time of resurvey.
