Keeping an eye out
The interior of St James includes this fine 'oculus' - the small circular window at the top of the west wall. It was originally a window that the clergy would look out of to observe their flock. These days the former Benedictine Priory has changed quite a lot and some of the features have gone. Fortunately, this oculus remains (albeit stained); it is thought to be the oldest example in Britain.
See Image] for the outside view.
