I realised just in time that St James is nowadays a private residence - it should have been blindingly obvious, of course, a quick Google shows that the church of St James was de-consecrated in the late 1980s and internally rebuilt as a house.
The church of St James was originally built in the late 13th or early 14th century, but the church of St Mary, a much older structure, had disappeared by 1360 and the parish of St Mary was shared between James and Smealey.
ST JAMES. Nave, chancel, and C19 bellcote. The church was so much restored in the C19 that little evidence of interest remains except a two-light early C16 brick window in the chancel. - PLATE. Cup of 1667.
