Church of St James the Less, Sulgrave, Medieval parish church in Sulgrave, England
The stone building features an Anglo-Saxon west doorway, Early English Gothic windows, and a tower with six bells dating from different periods.
The current structure originated in the 13th century under the patronage of St Andrew's Cluniac Priory, with major renovations occurring after a spire collapse in 1340.
The Washington family pew and tomb, located in the south aisle, connect this church to early American heritage through George Washington's ancestors.
Regular Church of England services take place in this Grade II* listed building, which belongs to the benefice of Culworth alongside Thorpe Mandeville and Chipping Warden.
The entrance displays rare Greek letters 'J.H.S.' and 'X.R.S.' representing Jesus Christ, alongside a Tudor porch constructed during Elizabeth I's reign.
