Welcome to St. James Church, Chawleigh
We are a friendly welcoming group of people who love the Lord and we welcome visitors and new comers with open arms. We are a mixture of ages and backgrounds and love our small village and surrounding countryside. Our services are relaxed and family friendly and when we are not in the middle of a global pandemic, we serve refreshments after every service.
We are looking at new ways in which we can serve our local community as we come out of the Covid-19 pandemic. Do get in touch with one of the clergy to find out more and look at our services information and events page.
Our Parish is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Representative (PSR).
Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSR.
If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSR. Our Parish Safeguarding Representative is
