The spire of St James’s can be seen from some distance. Countless people appreciate the open-air loveliness of the churchyard. Similarly, there is a place in many local people’s hearts for the church. It may be that they or their children performed at one of the schools’ concerts or that they have been to a carol service or a wedding. It is a Grade II listed building.
The Friends of St James is a group of people from different backgrounds, and religions, who choose to support and care for the wellbeing of St James’s Church and its neighbourhood, appreciating the magnificent building and its significant role for visitors while hosting events for all in the community.
If you would like to know more about the entertaining activities at St James's particularly the occasions we host that raise money then join the Friends' mailing list. We will keep you in touch with the coming programme every couple of months with an informative email.
Of course you might also like to support the upkeep of this beautiful building and churchyard with a regular donation, details about giving can be found here - How to give.
By becoming a Friend of St James your money will be helping us to maintain the building and churchyard as public spaces. The church receives no government money towards running costs, but instead relies on donations from the public.
