There has been a place of worship in Anston since at least 1171 and St James's has survived the upheavals of civil war, poverty and sickness. The lovely limestone church you see today dates mostly from the 14th century, with the tower being added in the 15th century. The building has grown over the years to reflect the changing and expanding community and only a few stones, incorporated into the tower, remain of the original building.
