Weddings

Whilst we are experiencing the Coronavirus (Covid19) Pandemic, guidance has been issued in relation to weddings therefore please contact the Vicar (Revd. Charles Higgins) as normal worship has been suspended 

With it’s traditional architecture and churchyard full of mature trees, St James’ Church is a beautiful setting for any wedding. The church is large enough to cater for all your guests, with seating for up to 250 people, yet still retains an intimate, friendly atmosphere.

As a new month begins and we continue to return to the Church building for worship, we are also opening up new ways of giving to St James Church - it is now possible to donate online.

online giving

St James relies solely on people's generosity and receives no funding from the Church of England or the Government. As you can imagine, the pandemic has had a significant impact on our financial situation - as we continue to worship, look after our building, and play our part in the community, if you are able to give it would make an enormous difference. Thank you!

“With many in our country on lockdown, it’s important that we support those who are feeling lonely and isolated, whatever age they are."
