St James' is a simple country church made of local stone. The nave is the oldest and largest part of the building, the tower and chancel are believed to have originated at a slightly later date. Sanding prominently at a hill-top road junction, the church can be seen from the centre of the village roughly a mile away. It's place at the meeting point of these roads is representative of its original intentions of serving three villages. It is surrounded by a closed churchyard, maintained by the Borough Council.

The interior is plastered and painted. There is a very small organ vestry, seemingly built around the same time as the chancel. The chancel contains a wooden altar, choir stalls, and other 20th Century furnishings. There are two stained glass windows. The East window is a triptych, topped by a quarefoil. The organ is let into the North wall. The nave contains one stained glass window. There are wooden fixed pews, a 20th Century wooden pulpit and a brass eagle lectern. In the walls are two war memorials, brass plaques, mounted on oak. The tower contains one bell, thought to be an 18th century ship's bell, not currently in use.
