Welcome to St James

Welcome to St James which is situated at the heart of Great Horwood. The turret on the tower, with its distinctive pointed roof, is a landmark which can be seen for miles. 


Dating back to 1340, people have prayed here regularly for nearly 700 years. We are a welcoming community and we would love to see you at our services, cake stalls or simply when you come to visit the church. It is open everyday.
