Saint James Church is known as 'The Battlefield Church,' a title attributed to an aged wooden sign located in the garden across from the church.
Tradition holds that Richard III conducted Mass here on the eve of the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. Within the church, numerous artifacts linked to Richard III are on display, including needlepoint kneelers crafted by members of the Richard III Society.
Adjacent to the church stands an impressive row of 17th-century almshouses.

The church of St James mostly dates from the 14th century and probably replaces an earlier church on the site. The church consists of a low west tower, nave, chancel and south chapel. The circular arcade dates to the 13th century, the low west tower has a brick upper stage which was rebuilt in the early 19th century. The font is probably 14th century.
There is a monument to William Roberts who died in 1633 a recumbent alabaster effigy. He lies in armour with his two wives, one kneeling at his feet.
