St James is set just outside the village of Staunton. It is accessed via a private road or following the public footpath signed from the layby near the church.
St James is a very welcoming church, often opening the church for cream teas during the summer and events through the year.
We are unable to offer a Sunday School, but families are always welcome and we provide activity bags for children.
