St James' Church features a five-bay nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, and a prominent west tower with angle buttresses reaching the fourth stage.
Construction of St James' Church began with the foundation stone laying in September 1863 and reached completion in September 1866, funded by local colliery owner Nathaniel Eckersley.
