Church of St James, Norman church in Bramley, England

The Church of St James features flint construction with stone dressings, red brick tower, and tiled roof reinforced by sturdy buttresses.

Built around 1150, the church received its west tower in 1636 and underwent modifications by architect John Soane in 1802.

The church walls contain medieval paintings depicting martyrdoms, including a representation of Thomas Becket's murder from 1170.

Sunday services occur at Cross House at 9:00 am and at St James Church at 10:30 am, with daily prayer sessions from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

The physicist Lise Meitner, who contributed to nuclear physics research, rests in the churchyard next to her brother Walter.
