Saint James The Great

The medieval building appears to have a late Saxon or Norman core, but is largely late C13 or early C14, and with many later features.

Right of it, some indication of a blocked in feature and a C15 2-light square headed window.

Inside, the tower arch is a late C13 triple-chamfered archway, without capitals or any interuption between shaft and arch.

Chancel arch is a double chamfered archway on corbels and in the Chancel to the north are 2 openings through to the north chapel of 1869, and between them a single opening which might be Anglo Saxon or Norman: a single splayed round arched light and incorporated in the glass, fragments of an early latticed wood shutter.

Font is C13, a plain circular bowl on a circular shaft.

High Victorian stone and marble pulpit.

Much good late C19 stained glass, notably in the west wall and chancel and south east nave window, which is by Ward and Hughes of London, dated 1887.

In the chancel are 2 monuments one by J. Bacon junior, a sentimental death bed scene in marble, commemorating Sarah Mansfield, died 1813. the other, is to John Mansfield who died in 1839.
