St James' Parish Church, Wetherby, Grade II listed Anglican church in Wetherby, England

The Victorian Gothic Revival building features a tall sandstone tower, stained glass windows, and ornate decorative painted ceilings with pendant lamps.

The church, consecrated in 1842, replaced an earlier thatched chapel that stood in Market Square until 1760 and served the growing population of Wetherby.

The interior contains oak furniture crafted by the Robert Thompson studio of Kilburn, including pews installed during the 1887 refurbishment period.

Sunday services include traditional Book of Common Prayer formats and modern family gatherings, while Morning Prayer takes place every Thursday at 9:30 AM.

The church displays a royal coat of arms from 1776 attributed to King George III, featuring an unusual lion with a moustached face.
