St James' Church, Warter, Grade II listed church in Warter, England

St James' Church is a Gothic building with a west tower, a broach spire, and five bays, constructed from cut stone. The nave ends with a polygonal apse and has a south porch.

The building was erected in 1862-1863 for Lord Muncaster, replacing a medieval priory founded in 1132. The site thus carries a long history as a place of worship.

The stained glass windows inside show scenes from the Wilson family's life, created by a renowned artist and linking local stories with artistic work.

Access to the churchyard is open and allows time for quiet exploration. The Yorkshire Wolds Heritage Centre cares for the building and can provide further information for your visit.

The churchyard contains bronze sculptures by a renowned sculptor that originally came from an Italian garden. These works mark a private burial ground for the family and blend art with history.
