Church of St. James - Wick

A small church having Norman features though in Early English style and dating from the early 12th century. The interior Norman and Early English features are of particular interest. It has an interesting history having originally been a chapel. It was given to Ewenny Priory in the late 12th century on the condition that three weekly services were held there. By the late 16th century it had been annexed to St. Brides Major. The church underwent major restoration in 1871 when much rebuilding was undertaken and a porch and vestry added. In 1950 Wick, Marcross and Monknash were linked together to form one benefice.
