Britain's What's On Event Guide
St James Parish Church Open Day + Bike n Hike + Ride n Stride
Heritage Open Day: Our beautiful medieval church will be open for visitors, including the bell tower - uniquely built of greensand that is still GREEN – plus the Elizabethan marble tomb of John Thompson and his wife with their effigies – rare in a parish church. A rare opportunity to visit our beautiful medieval church. The earliest part of St James is the south arcade of the nave which is 13th-century work, and the aisle walls are perhaps of this date or rebuilt c. 1330. The chancel seems to be 14th-century, though much altered; the north arcade and aisle seem entirely of the 15th century, as does the tower, and the south porch may be c. 1500. The church was extensively refurbished, including new roofs and the redecoration of the interior, in 1911.
