Britain's What's On Event Guide
Visit Colwall St James Church
Heritage Open Day: Visit St James - a pilgrim Church and appreciate its history with some refreshments Situated just over a mile southwest of the village, the church marks the earlier village community of Colwall. However in 1860, the development of the railway through the Malvern Hills to the village dramatically transformed the geography of the area. Despite this transformation, St James remains the village church and an integral part of the community.
A church has been on this site since Saxon times serving a farming community where agricultural activities included hunting on the local chase. The first Rector listed was Gerard de Eugines in 1275 and at that time the church would have consisted of a chancel, the nave and the south aisle.
