St James' Church, Christleton, Grade II* listed Anglican church in Christleton, England
Description
St James' Church is an Anglican church with red sandstone walls and a green slate roof, featuring a continuous nave and chancel with north and south aisles. The building was completed in 1877 following the collapse of an earlier medieval structure.
History
A church has stood on this site since 1500, but a roof collapse made rebuilding necessary. Architect William Butterfield then designed the current structure in Gothic Revival style, which was completed in 1877.

The interior displays red and white sandstone walls with stained glass windows created by Gibbs and Kempe between 1877 and 1904, giving a sense of the artistic craftsmanship of that era.
Practical
The church offers regular Anglican services under the Diocese of Chester and is easily accessible within the village of Christleton. The churchyard contains military graves from both World Wars and invites quiet reflection.
