Welcome! The church building of St James is open each day during daylight hours for visiting.
We worship twice a month, on the 1st and 3rd Sundays. As the church is very small please make contact with us if you intend to visit. For full Benefice service details please click here.
St James is a part of the Small Pilgrim Places Network so you are free to drop in to look around or simply to sit quietly and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
