Silsoe - Church of St James the Great
Image: © Rob Farrow Taken: 5 May 2014
Dating from 1829-31, St James the Great in Silsoe is not the ancient church one might expect in this very old village. It is however, built on the site of a mediaeval Chapel of Ease. It is built of the characteristic chocolate-brown local ironstone, and is in the C15th style, belying its comparative youthfulness. It is EH Grade II listed - see http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1113780&searchtype=mapsearch
