St James the Less Church, Lancing, Medieval parish church in Lancing, England.
St James the Less Church features tall three-bay arcades with octagonal piers and a combination of flint cobblestones and pebble-dashed walls.
The church structure dates from 1201, with significant modifications occurring between 1280 and 1300, including the addition of larger arches and expanded aisles.
The Norman-style capitals and round arch entrance door represent the architectural transition from Early English Gothic to Decorated Gothic periods.
The church maintains regular worship services throughout the week and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its Grade I listed architecture.
During repairs in 1994, workers discovered original quoins on the west wall, confirming the existence of an earlier, narrower church structure.
