Church of St James, Grade II listed church in Bilbrough, England
The Church of St James features sandstone walls with magnesian limestone elements and a Welsh slate roof, incorporating Gothic Revival architectural details.
Built on a 12th-century religious site, the current structure dates from 1873 when architect George Fowler Jones redesigned it, retaining only the southeast chapel.
The church houses the marble and limestone tomb of Thomas Fairfax from 1671, marking the final resting place of this notable historical figure.
Located between York and Tadcaster, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural and historical features.
The medieval altar stone discovered during renovations in 1970 was integrated into the new altar table, connecting past and present religious practices.
