Old Classic Church

Lovely old village church with friendly vicar and good atmosphere

Lovely to visit.

Close to Wrest Park, stands the sandstone church of St.James built from 1829 when the original tower became too heavy for the walls of the old C13 church & was demolished. The sandstone came from a local quarry on the Ampthill Road. Inside the church, you will find a font dated 1890 & a beautiful stained glass window in the east. The window is by Thomas Baillie & dates from 1857. It has three cinque foiled lights. The centre one,is shorter than normal to allow for a small tracery below a four centred arch above the window. Additional windows in the east end are dated 1923. The churchyard is 'open' &the graveyard has been the resting place for many since the late 1800s.

Visited the photography competition and craft stalls. Nice way to while away some time on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone was chatty, even bought something. Good atmosphere.

Friendly church all welcome
