Church History
This church was built a long time ago, in 1844. A person named Robert Barker designed it. The church was officially opened on October 10, 1844.
Later, between 1888 and 1890, a part of the church called the chancel was added. J Holden was the person who designed this new section.
About the Organ
Churches often have large musical instruments called pipe organs. These organs use air flowing through pipes to make sound.
The first pipe organ in St James' Church was made bigger in 1876. A builder named Charles Lloyd from Nottingham improved it. However, this organ was later moved. In 1906, it went to St Andrew's Church, Langar.
A new pipe organ was installed in St James' Church in 1906. This one was made by a company called Abbott and Smith. You can find more details about this organ on the National Pipe Organ Register.
