St James' Church was built in 1864-5 by J.S. Crowther. The greatest possession of the
Church must be the East window, designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones
and made by William Morris & Co.
It shows the Crucifixion, and the Ascension, with angels grouped
on a starry background, and is one of the most magnificent Morris & Co windows imaginable,
and goes unnoticed by most guide books.
Only the tower of an earlier 14th Century Church, St Margaret's, remains, a magnificent
monument to its builders, and now becoming derelict.
