The Anglican parish, devoted to St. James the Great, has roots tracing to the 11th century. Expertly restored in 1877 by Ewan Christian, its historical and architectural importance led to a Grade I listing in 1966. Noteworthy is the distinctive medieval wooden belfry, evolving between the 13th and 14th centuries. Housing six bells cast in 1721 by John Waylet adds to the church's rich heritage.
