Welcome to the Benefice of Thornbury, Woodhall and Waterloo.
We are made up of the parishes of St James, Pudsey, and St Margaret’s, Thornbury, Bradford — two churches working together to worship God and to serve our communities.
We hope to see you at a service or event soon.
You are most welcome.

Instead, you are warmly invited to join us at St James the Great, Galloway Lane, Pudsey, for worship at 9.30am, or at our monthly Eucharist service at St Margaret’s, held at 12pm on the first Wednesday of each month.
Welcome to St James!
We’re so glad you’ve found us. St James is a warm and inclusive church in Woodhall, on the outskirts of Pudsey. We’re a down-to-earth community that loves welcoming new people and serving our local area.
Our Sunday services centre on hearing God’s Word and sharing in Holy Communion. Whether you’re exploring faith, looking for a church home, or simply curious, you’re always welcome to join us.
If you have any questions or would like to know more, please do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
