St James' Church, Stretham, Cambridgeshire

The stone walls of St James' Church rise against the Cambridgeshire sky, featuring pointed arches and large windows characteristic of English Gothic architecture.

Established in 1301, the church underwent modifications by architect James Piers St Aubyn, who maintained its medieval structural elements while adding Victorian period renovations.

The church maintains regular Sunday gatherings at 8:00 AM and 10:30 AM, bringing together local residents for worship services and community celebrations.

Visitors can access the Grade II* listed building through its main entrance, which includes facilities such as wheelchair ramps and an audio loop system.

The church bell tower contains a specific arrangement of bells that produce distinct sounds across the Stretham landscape during religious celebrations and special occasions.
