St James' Church, Briercliffe, Gothic Revival Anglican church in Briercliffe, England.
St James' Church is an Anglican church in Gothic Revival style located in Briercliffe, built from sandstone with stone slate covering throughout. A prominent west end tower with steep-pitched roof marks its exterior.
Edmund Sharpe designed the building in 1839, with construction completed in 1841. The project was funded through public contributions from the local community.
The church displays typical Victorian ecclesiastical design through its three galleries with pews supported by cast iron columns. These elements shape the interior experience and show how worshippers were arranged during the 19th century.
The churchyard is freely accessible to visitors who wish to explore the grounds and memorials. The location is easily reached on foot and offers a peaceful outdoor visit.
The churchyard holds memorial graves for soldiers from both World Wars who served from the local community. These burial sites tell the story of residents who died in military service.
