Old Church of St James, Upton, Medieval church tower in Upton, England
The remaining tower of the Old Church of St James stands near Wimbleball Lake, consisting of three distinct stages with a nineteenth-century buttress addition.
The church originated in 1301 and served the community until 1971, when it was declared redundant and transferred to the Churches Conservation Trust in 1973.
The original church bells found new homes, with one traveling to St John the Baptist in Pitney and another reaching Green Point, New South Wales, Australia.
A newer St James Church was built in 1870 closer to the village center, as the old location proved too distant for regular community gatherings.
The structure measured 20.12 meters in length and 3.96 meters in width, featuring a square chancel and rectangular nave, though only foundation courses remain.
