As restrictions change… our commitment to care for one another remains the same. Over the next few weeks, we will work together to ease what restrictions we can step-by-step.

These changes will be under constant review – please share what you are thinking and feeling as we move forward together.

For now, face-coverings continue to be recommended by Church and government guidance.

We now have new sound and video equipment to live stream the Sunday services and other special services on our Facebook page,

Weddings

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.
