Church of St James, Ashwick, Medieval parish church in Ashwick, England.

The Church of St James exhibits a three-stage tower with diagonal corner buttresses rising into pinnacles decorated with quatrefoil interlace and crocketed finials.

The religious building, constructed around 1450, received major renovations in 1881 by architects Browne and Gill, who incorporated Victorian Gothic elements into its structure.

Memorial tablets inside the church honor John Billingsley, a leading agriculturalist and founder of the Royal Bath and West of England Society.

The Grade I listed church maintains regular worship services and requires coordinated arrangements with parish officials for visits outside scheduled times.

Under the tower stands a 1770 memorial for Richard Hardwick, a local clockmaker, accompanied by an earlier clock-shaped tribute to his children from 1738.
