St James's Church is substantially of 14th century origin. Major alterations were carried out in 1840, elongating the north aisle to accommodate the Curzon family and their staff from Gopsall Hall; the south porch also dates from this time. The stained glass in the east window is notable; it is said that it was originally in the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris and came to Twycross by way of William IV and Earl Howe of Gopsall Hall. The church is nowadays part of the delightfully named Sheepy Benefice.
