The first vicarage, a large gabled building built in 1864, was funded mainly by the first incumbent and particularly his wife, the Revd and Mrs Fitz Wygram. The garden, which was used for parish occasions, extended for much of the length of St. James’s Road, which is now occupied by twelve detached houses, beyond which were the original vicarage coach house and stables.

The present vicarage was built in 1937 and is next door to the church in St. James’s Road. It is a five bedroomed detached house that stands in its own garden with a separate garage. The vicarage garden, which is adjacent to the church hall lawn, is a greatly valued amenity that is used for parish occasions as an outdoor space in which to congregate for special events, such as the summer party and barbecue for St. James’s Day.

Over the vicarge door is a cockle shell. Cockle shells were adopted as symbols of St. James from Medieval times up until the present day.
