St James' Church, Stirchley, Grade I listed church in Stirchley and Brookside, England.

The church features a squared yellow sandstone chancel with Norman elements and a red brick nave with Georgian architectural characteristics.

Construction began in 1101, and in 1838 a north aisle was added to accommodate workers from the nearby Old Park Ironworks.

Inside the Norman chancel arch displays intricate carvings of chain links, rosettes, and capitals with scallops and foliage designs.

The church stands one mile from central Telford, with the nearest railway stations at Telford Central and Oakengates stations.

Three bells from different centuries remain in the tower: one from 1410 by John de Colsale, 1594 by Henry II Oldfield, and 1664 by Thomas II Clibury.
