Shirley Parish Church, Anglican church building in Shirley district, Southampton, England.
The church features a square embattled tower, gothic screen behind the altar, and religious inscriptions throughout the interior stone walls.
The original medieval church mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1085 merged with Millbrook parish in 1574, leading to construction of the current building in 1836.
St James' by the Park maintains regular Anglican services while providing space for community gatherings and religious education programs throughout the week.
The church interior accommodates 600 people and contains modern facilities following the 1994 renovation that removed traditional wooden pews for flexible seating arrangements.
Between 1840 and 1848, the church expanded its seating capacity to 1,080 through the addition of balconies, with 432 seats designated as free pews.
