Church of St. James, Taunton, Medieval parish church in Taunton, England
The Church of St. James features an octagonal 15th-century font with carvings of Jesus and disciples, alongside a medieval wagon roof above the nave.
The current church structure dates from the early 14th century, replacing an earlier church associated with Taunton Priory from the 10th century.
The interior combines Victorian elements with medieval architecture, including stained glass windows and a carved pulpit from 1633 with mermaids and sun motifs.
Sunday services take place at 10:30 AM with simultaneous online streaming through the church YouTube channel and children programs during worship.
The churchyard borders Somerset County Ground, making the church a recognizable landmark during cricket matches.
