The Parish church St James the Great and its vicarage was built on land donated by the Earl of Shrewsbury. He also financed the building and it was constructed with stone taken from the Earls own quarry at Weston Bank. The church houses a wooden screen designed by the eminent Victorian architect Augustus Pugin and was formerly part of the furnishings of the private chapel at Alton Towers, one time home of the Earls of Shrewsbury.
