St James' Church, Boroughbridge

C. P. Canfield describes the building as "a moderately large church... the subscribers got a lot of accommodation for their money".

[2] The church is built of sandstone with roofs of stone slate and tile.

The tower has three stages, a north stair turret, stepped angle buttresses rising to embattled corner turrets, string courses, a west window with a pointed arch and hood mould, lancet windows and clock faces in the middle stage, two-light bell openings with hood moulds, and an embattled parapet.

[2] They form a random collection and, other than the possible arch of a priest's door, were set into the walls of the former church.

These may have originally formed part of one or more earlier churches and have been used in reconstructing the chapel at Boroughbridge, perhaps after a raid by Scots in the early 13th century.
